Dr. Gately is a behavioral economist whose research focuses on the factors influencing group
dynamics (such as how people manipulate their beliefs, how different types of people work
together, how groups form, and how group identity impacts decision-making) as well as

investigate these topics.

teaching interests in experimental and behavioral economics, as well as the economics of rural
issues and the history of economic thought. Dr. Gately has worked with undergraduate
