5 May 2026Le Centre d’Economie de l’Environnement de Montpellier (CEE-M), offer a Phd opportunity : “Decision in motion: posture, locomotion, and economic behavior”
The project is structured around three sets of research questions corresponding to the main dimensions of economic decision-making. The first focuses on individual preferences, examining how posture and movement affect risk attitudes, ambiguity aversion, and intertemporal preferences. The second addresses social preferences, analyzing the impact of bodily engagement on altruism, cooperation, trust, and coordination dynamics. The third examines the depth of strategic reasoning, exploring how movement influences iterative reasoning processes and the trade-off between motor demands and cognitive resources. Overall, the project aims to test the robustness of core findings in experimental economics by explicitly incorporating the bodily dimension of decision-making, and to identify the cognitive and physiological mechanisms underlying decision-making in motion.
