Nikhil Masters 

I am a Lecturer in Economics at the University of Essex. My research is in behavioural economics with a focus on integrating interdisciplinary insights from psychology to better understand human decision-making.  

I use a broad portfolio of empirical research methods including experiments  (lab and field) and econometric modelling to address causal questions. 

My research interests include the role of emotions in economics, the relationship between pain perception and social preferences, and the Behavioural Economics of Music (BEM) - a new interdisciplinary research programme examining decision-making at the intersection of economics and music cognition.

I am on the 2024/25 job market. Link to my CV.
