Markets cluster

The market cluster at delves into the intricate interplay between human behaviour and market dynamics.

Our research is centred on understanding how markets should be designed considering consumers' preferences and cognitive biases. We explore critical issues in consumer protection, analysing how market participants can be safeguarded against unfair practices and vulnerabilities.

This cluster aims to bridge the gap between behavioural insights and market strategies, offering novel perspectives on creating more efficient, fair, and socially responsible markets.
