Research Interests

Susanne Abele is joining the social program as a Research Scholar. Professor Abele received her Ph.D. in social psychology from the University of Heidelberg, Germany in 2000. After working as a consultant for Cognitrend, a behavioral finance company in Germany, she joined the Faculty of Erasmus University, Rotterdam School of Management, Netherlands in 2003.

Her research addresses how and what people think when making decisions that involve others. In this work, she has combined social cognition and behavioral economics approaches. More specifically, she has studied the role of decision timing in tacit coordination and public good games. Her recent work focuses on how the nature of the economic games affects interpersonal perceptions and how these perceptions affect subsequent decisions.
