His research primarily involves the use of experimental methods to investigate questions in general equilibrium theory, behavioral economics, and decision theory. His recent focus has been to characterize individual choice under uncertainty, to study the impact of these characterizations on market prices, and to study the relationship between individual choices made in isolation versus relative to analogous choices in a market setting. Professor Crockett earned his Ph.D. in Economics from Carnegie Mellon University in 2004, and has been a professor at Baruch College since 2006.
