James Banovetz

Dr. Banovetz has experience using theory and applied techniques in a variety of contexts, including assessing the economic effects of COVID-19 policies and how pollution influences recreational choice.

Prior to joining Brattle, Dr. Banovetz’s research focused on “bandit” models as a tool to assess behavioral forces in decision-making, studying how people under-value exploring new options and how they rely on simplified rules when facing complex problems.
