This new post, funded by Allied Irish Banks ((opens in a new window)AIB), will promote the teaching of behavioural economics at UCD and contribute to a new research programme in this area. Liam’s research spans a wide range of interdisciplinary topics including the relationship between mental health and economic outcomes, how people make decisions over different time horizons, and the life-course determinants of decision making. We look forward to welcoming Liam in January and anticipate that his recruitment will complement and boost research and teaching across a wide range of areas at UCD.
