Dr. Thibaut Arpinon

Current Position

About me

I am a Postdoctoral researcher at the Georg-August University of Göttingen in the Department of Agricultural Economics and Rural Development. I have completed my PhD entitled "Three essays in experimental economics: plant-based diets and Registered Reports" in July 2023 at University of Rennes and CREM laboratory in France.

My main research interests are in experimental and behavioral economics. I apply this framework to study the implications of following a plant-based diet (vegetarianism and veganism) and animal welfare. I also study methodological issues and new open science research methods such as Registered Reports.

You find can find here my personal website with my CV and google scholar page.
