Lucas Rentschler

I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Economics and Finance at Utah State University. I am also the Director of the Experimental Economics Program and a Senior Research Fellow at the Center for Growth and Opportunity and a Research Associate at the Economic Science Institute at Chapman University. My research focuses on three areas. In the first, I study policing incentives and the plea bargaining process. In the second, I study misinformation and content moderation on social media. In the third, I study auctions and contents.
