Abigail Barr is a Professor in the School of Economics, University of Nottingham. Before moving to Nottingham, she was a researcher at the Centre for the Study of African Economies (CSAE) and the Oxford Department of International Development, University of Oxford. Abigail's research focuses on the socially embedded decision-maker. She has designed and implemented a variety of lab and lab-type experiments involving students in several countries, villagers in Zimbabwe, Colombia, Uganda, Nigeria, and Sri Lanka, private-sector waged workers and unemployed people in the UK, Chile, Peru, Ghana, South Africa, and Spain and health workers and teachers in Ethiopia, Uganda, and Albania. Two overarching themes have dominated her work to date: the roles played by other-regarding preferences and social context in individual decision-making; and the factors and mechanisms determining individuals’ other-regarding preferences and values.
