About
John Duffy is a leading experimental economist whose research explores the foundations of human cooperation, strategic behavior, and the evolution of social norms. His most-cited work, "Group size and cooperation among strangers" (2016), has garnered over 20 citations and provides critical insights into how group dynamics influence cooperative behavior in anonymous settings—a cornerstone for understanding public goods provision and collective action. Duffy’s broader contributions span experimental and behavioral economics, where he designs controlled laboratory environments to test theories of learning, coordination, and market interactions. His work has significantly advanced our understanding of how institutions and communication shape decision-making, with implications for policy design in areas like environmental regulation and organizational management. Beyond his influential papers, Duffy is recognized for his rigorous methodological approach and his role in mentoring a new generation of experimental economists. His research continues to bridge theoretical models with real-world behavior, making him a pivotal figure in the study of cooperation and strategic interaction.
