Craig R. Fox, Ph.D.

I am Professor of Strategy and Policy at UCLA Anderson School of Management, Professor of Psychology at UCLA, and Co-Director of the UCLA Interdisciplinary Research Group in Behavioral Decision Making. I joined the UCLA faculty in 2003 after six years at the Fuqua School of Business (Duke University), where I remain an adjunct faculty member.

I earned undergraduate degrees in economics and psychology from the University of California at Berkeley, where I completed my thesis work under the supervision of Daniel Kahneman. I received an M.A. and Ph.D. in experimental psychology from Stanford University under the supervision of the late Amos Tversky. I am a former associate editor of Management Science, and Organization Behavior and Human Decision Processes. I am currently on the editorial boards of the Journal of Behavioral Decision Making and Judgment and Decision Making am founding co-editor of the forthcoming journal Behavioral Science and Policy.

I teach MBA and executive courses in managerial decision-making, negotiation, leadership, strategy, and dynamic management, as well as Ph.D. courses in decision making. I have previously taught courses at Duke University, University of Chicago, Northwestern University, Stanford University, Koç University in Istanbul, and the Australian Graduate School of Management. In addition, I have been a visiting scholar at Columbia University, New York University, the University of Mannheim, and the Hebrew University in Jerusalem.

Craig's CV

Carsten Erner

I am currently a post-doc at UCLA Anderson School of Management. I worked as a post-doc with teaching duties at the University of Münster (Germany) after completing my doctoral degree in finance in 2008. Prior to that, I studied business administration at the University of Münster and at the University of California, Berkeley. My research interests include behavioral finance and individual decision making.

Tom Schonberg

I am currently a post-doc working part-time with Prof. Fox, but am now based at the University of Texas at Austin in Prof. Russell Poldrack's lab. I started my studies in 1999 in the interdisciplinary program for excellent students in Tel Aviv university where I also received my M.A. in Psychobiology. In 2009 I completed my PhD in Tel Aviv University, under the supervision of Daphna Joel, co-supervised by John O'Doherty from Caltech. My dissertation research focused on reinforcement learning in the striatum: how these signals are correlated with learning in simple decision making in healthy subjects and how these signals are affected by the dopamine depletion in Parkinson's disease. In collaboration with Prof. Fox and Prof. Poldrack we are currently pursuing the underlying neural and behavioral factors underlying decision making under risk..

David Tannenbaum

I am currently a post-doc at the Anderson School. In 2011 I completed my PhD in Psychology from UC Irvine under the supervision of Peter Ditto. My research interests include inference, uncertainty, and choice. So far, much of my research has focused on moral judgment and on issues of public policy (such as how default options impact individual choice).

I am a graduate student in Psychology, in the Cognitive Neuroscience area. I graduated from Pomona College in 2006 with a B.A. in Psychology and Music, and worked for a year as a research assistant at Princeton University’s Center for the Study of Brain, Mind and Behavior. I am interested in using neuroimaging techniques to explore the interaction of emotion and cognition in decision-making.

My primary research interests lie at the intersection of my experience and background - risky decision making and behavioral finance.

My research interests are the impact of decision-making under uncertainty on firm strategy, particularly in the health care sector. In my free time (such as it is) I enjoy reading fiction.
