Andy Brownback is an associate professor of economics at the University of Arkansas specializing in behavioral and experimental economics. He uses laboratory, field, and online experiments to study questions about education and public policy. In a recently published paper with Sally Sadoff (2020), they find that behaviorally-informed contracts for community college instructors can substantially improve student outcomes. He has also taken a behavioral-economics perspective to study nutrition policy with Alex Imas and Michael Kuhn (forthcoming). Their recent paper shows that healthy subsidies are more effective after shoppers experience a waiting period and that endowing shoppers with agency further enhances the subsidies.
