Ali Seyhun Saral

I am a postdoctoral researcher and the lab manager at the Max Planck Institute for Research on Collective Goods. I am a member of the Experimental Economics Group (EEG). I will be joining the Department of Economics at the University of Bologna as a postdoctoral research fellow in July 2021.

My research focuses on the topic of cooperation, specifically on reciprocity and conditional cooperation. One particular application that I am interested in is social production goods such as open-source software, wikis, public guides and so on.

For my research, I use methods from microeconomics, game theory, behavioral and experimental economics, agent-based modelling and social choice theory.

I am also interested in software development related to experimental social sciences.

Here is my CV.
