Ethical Behavior in Finance: Expectations, Incentives and Accountability

Erin Krupka is an experimental behavioral economist who studies how the desire to conform to economic social norms influences immoral and selfish behavior. She tries to understand why individuals often behave in a manner consistent with group norms, even in settings where there is no strategic advantage for doing so, including corporate settings. Her research also explores why economic decisions are highly sensitive to the specific context in which they are made. Erin Krupka is faculty in the University of Michigan School of Information and an affiliate of the Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA). She received a Master's in public policy from the University of Chicago and a PhD in behavioral decision research at Carnegie Mellon University. Part of the Women in STEM series.
