We at JEDI lab at Linköping University conduct research on intuition, reflection, and emotion in economic decision-making. The aim of our research is to understand everyday decision-making and its underlying processes.

As society becomes increasingly digitalised, people collaborate in new ways. We discover new opportunities while also facing new challenges. What was once stable is now being questioned. This is when new, sustainable welfare institutions are needed.

Do you have limited financial knowledge, or prefer not to think about financial issues? Then there is great potential that AI can help, according to LiU researcher Kinga Barrafrem.

We are growing research group at LiU. The core of our research is economic analysis of transport systems, usually applied on or motivated by transport policy issues related to the climate, welfare, equity, gender equality and the labour market.

The research in applied microeconomics covers a variety of areas such as labor economics, law economics, religion and economics, transport economics, international economics, health economics, development economics and environmental economics.

Our personalities influence the financial decisions we take and how we experience our financial situation. This is the conclusion of a thesis in behavioural finance at LiU. The results are, however, not clear-cut, and some are really surprising.
