Leveraging Behavioral Economic Principles to Promote Health Behaviors

Dr. Pope’s research interests focus on integrating principles of behavioral economics (the science of irrational decision making) into nutrition and exercise choices to nudge people towards healthier decisions. During her recent post-doc at the Cornell Food and Brand Lab, she participated in projects that manipulated food arrangement, price, and display characteristics to promote healthier purchasing and consumption in school lunch-rooms and grocery-store environments.
