Angela C. M. de Oliveira

    Angela is a fifth year PhD Candidate at the University of Texas at Dallas. She is interested in the complex relationship between beliefs, social preferences, and cooperation. 

    Angela's current research focuses on how social preferences (things like altruism and reciprocity) and information (available about one's group members/society) interact to impact cooperation in a public goods environment.

    Angela is currently working under the supervision of Professors Catherine Eckel and Rachel Croson on several projects, including:

    The Houston Schools Project: Understanding the Preferences of             High School Students (Risk, Time, and Altruism)

    The Neighborhoods Project: A Comparison of Individual Preferences for Risk, Time, and Cooperation in Two Low-Income Neighborhoods

    Individual Heterogeneity and Uncertainty in Public Goods Provision
