Toke Fosgaard

Toke is a highly experienced and esteemed researcher in behavioral and experimental economics. He has researched social decisions ranging from cooperation dilemmas, dishonest choices, what happens when charity donations go digital, how to get blood donors to give repeatedly, the impact of social norms, and the influence of who people grow up with.

Toke’s research is building upon a large number of behavioral experiments – some under very controlled and precise circumstances, others in much more realistic everyday situations.
