John Duffy  is a professor of economics at the University of California, Irvine. I do research on the micro-foundations of macro-economic activity. My aim is to understand how groups of individuals (societies) make economic forecasts and decisions and how they resolve coordination problems. I have attempted to address such questions using theoretical models, computational methods and controlled laboratory experiments with human subjects.

Martin Dufwenberg joined the Eller College of Management in 2003 and previously taught at Uppsala University, Stockholm University, and Bocconi University. He earned his PhD in Economics from Uppsala University in 1995. He was appointed Department Head of Economics in 2020. His research uses game theory and experiments to explore topics in behavioral economics. He currently works on how to incorporate emotions and other forms of belief-dependent motivations into economic analysis using an analytical framework called psychological game theory.
