NYU Institute for the Study of Decision Making Details
What are the roots of human behavior? How do we make decisions, and what forces shape those decisions? How can we apply what we learn about human health and behavior to inform and improve public policy to make it more effective? The Institute for the Interdisciplinary Study of Decision Making (IISDM) was formed to bring together different scientific disciplines—including neuroscience, economics, psychology, and urban informatics—to tackle the next generation of human behavior research challenges and translate that research into improved public policy. IISDM breaks down the barriers between these and other disciplines and integrates the insights from these seemingly disparate fields into the study of neuroeconomics: understanding how people make decisions. Combined with our partner institutions within NYU, IISDM is the premiere global research institution for neuroeconomics and human behavior.
