The Team

Reut Blaywais

I am currently in the final year of my PhD studies at the Faculty of Management at Ben Gurion University of the Negev, conducting research under the supervision of Prof. Mosi Rosenboim and Dr. Uriel Haran. My doctoral research is in the field of behavioral finance and investigates the economic value of moral judgment. Specifically, I examine the way investors’ judgement of firms’ immoral conduct impacts their investment choices. I also work as a lecturer (in the following courses: Introduction to accounting, Introduction to financing and Introduction to probability) and organize the weekly seminar of the Center for Decision Making and Economic Psychology (DMEP).
