About
Wolfgang J. Luhan is a leading experimental economist whose research explores the behavioral foundations of decision-making, with a particular focus on how individuals interact with and perceive algorithmic versus human agents. His most impactful work investigates the growing prevalence of technology-assisted decision-making, examining whether people prefer to be "ruled by robots" and how they judge the fairness and legitimacy of choices made by algorithms. In his highly cited 2024 paper, which has already garnered 9 citations, Luhan uses an online experiment to demonstrate that the identity of the decision maker—human or machine—significantly shapes how outcomes are received. This work, alongside an earlier 2022 version, establishes him as a key voice in the emerging field of algorithmic governance and behavioral economics. By bridging psychology, technology, and economic theory, Luhan’s research provides critical insights into the social acceptance of AI, making him an essential reference for scholars studying the future of automated decision-making and its implications for trust and fairness in society.
