Head of Behavioral Science
Dr. Matthias Unfried
In seiner Forschung untersucht er die verhaltenswissenschaftlichen Grundlagen von Marktentscheidungen. Der Fokus liegt dabei auf den Einflussfaktoren und den Auswirkungen der Interaktion zwischen Mensch und Maschine. Darüber hinaus befasst er sich mit „cognitive Biases“ bei Managemententscheidungen.
Vor seiner Tätigkeit im Nürnberg Institut für Marktentscheidungen war er wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter an der Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg, wo er in Volkswirtschaftslehre promovierte.
