Mary's research interests are in experimental economics, behavioral game theory, and labor economics, focusing on personal exchange and bilateral bargaining. Much of her work is an experimental investigation into what conditions and institutions foster cooperation in bargaining situations--including, for example, firm-worker interactions and efficiency wages in experimental labor markets. Some of her most recent projects include examining the impact of population clustering on cooperative behavior, exploring the comparative efficiency of implicit and explicit contracting mechanisms, and the cooperativeness among political and business leaders.
