	Charles Efferson - Professor Charles.Efferson@unil.ch Internef, office 608 Tel 021 692 61 34

After Charles Efferson received a Ph.D. in evolutionary ecology at the University of California, Davis, he had post-doctoral positions at the Santa Fe Institute in New Mexico and at the Institute for Empirical Research in Economics at the University of Zurich. Before coming to the University of Lausanne, Charles was also a Senior Research Associate in the Economics Department at the University of Zurich, followed by a period as Lecturer in the Psychology Department at Royal Holloway, University of London.

Charles' research focuses on the gene-culture coevolution of human social cognition and behavior in domains involving conformity, coordination, and cooperation. He routinely mixes evolutionary modeling with the analysis of both experimental and observational data. Charles has conducted fieldwork in Europe, Western Asia, Africa, and South America. Much of his current empirical research examines the mechanisms underlying socially harmful cultural traditions like female genital cutting and the preferential abortion of females. This research typically involves the evaluation of strategies for reversing such harmful traditions, and accordingly Charles has collaborated extensively with UNICEF, the World Bank, and various NGOs.

Among other journals, Charles has published in Evolution and Human Behavior, Nature Human Behaviour, Proceedings of the Royal Society B, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Science, and Nature. He is consulting editor for Evolution and Human Behavior and a member of the editorial board for Evolutionary Human Sciences.

Ulrich Hoffrage is Full Professor of Organizational Behavior at HEC Lausanne, University of Lausanne, and the Director of the School’s Master of Science in Management program.

His research interests include judgment and decision making (in particular: ethical, managerial, consumer, medical and group decision making), and simple heuristics as models of bounded rationality. Moreover, he also contributed to the literature on cognitive illusions (e.g., overconfidence and hindsight bias), risk communication, and decision support systems. He is fascinated by the complex interplay between the co-evolution of individuals and their environments.

He published in journals such as Science, Psychological Review, Psychological Bulletin and his research (about 100 publications) is well received (>9200 citations in Scholar.Google; >3200 in Web of Sciences).

He studied psychology in Konstanz (Germany), and obtained his PhD in Salzburg (Austria). Before he joined HEC Lausanne in 2004, he was a senior researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Human Development (Berlin).

	Sonja Vogt - Associate Professor Sonja.Vogt@unil.ch)) Internef, room 607 Tel 021 692 34 23

Sonja Vogt’s research emphasizes the use of behavioral science to promote sustainable economic and social development. To do so, Vogt’s research uses a mix of lab, online, and field experiments to examine decision making in domains related to public health and gender, education, sustainable land management, and climate change. For example, with respect to gender, she has worked on strategies to reduce female genital cutting in Sudan and sex-selective abortion of females in Armenia. She is currently investigating the use of narratives to improve educational outcomes in South Africa and Malawi. She is also the principal investigator of a large project on digital solutions for sustainable land management among farmers with small land holdings (Agripath ) in Burkino Faso, Nepal, Uganda, Tanzania, and India.

Prof. Vogt obtained her doctorate from Utrecht University and was a post-doctoral fellow at the University of Zurich and the University of Oxford. She has published in journals such as Demography, Biological Conservation, Proceedings of the Royal Society B, Nature Human Behaviour, Science, and Nature.

She is affiliated with Nuffield College , the Centre for Experimental Social Sciences , and the Department of Sociology at the University of Oxford, and the Centre for Development and Environment at the University of Bern. She is also principal investigator of the Policy and Cultural Evolution Lab (https://pacelab.org/ ).

	Christian Zehnder - Professor Vice-Dean of HEC Faculty Christian.Zehnder@unil.ch Internef, office 612 Tel 021 692 36 81

Christian Zehnder holds a PhD in Economics from the University of Zurich. He is Professor of Organizational Decision Making and Vice-Dean for Faculty. His research is interdisciplinary in that it combines insights from Economics, Psychology and Management and builds on various methodological approaches including laboratory experiments, field experiments and game theoretic models. Christian Zehnder is interested in understanding the behavioral drivers of decision making in organizations. His recent work focuses on two central topics in organizational research: conflict management and employee motivation. He has written a series of articles showing that the use of simple and seemingly overrigid contracts can help to diminish conflicts and counterproductive work behaviors. Most recently he became interested in studying the impact of charismatic leadership on employee performance in various organizational environments.
