Eugen Dimant is an Associate Professor of Practice in Behavioral & Decision Sciences at the University of Pennsylvania. He is also a fellow in both the Behavioral and Decision Sciences Program and the Center for Social Norms and Behavioral Dynamics at the University of Pennsylvania, a collaborator at the Behavior Change for Good Initiative (BCFG) at Wharton, and a Network Fellow at CESifo. From 2022 to 2023, he was part of the former White House Behavioral Science Team (now the Office of Evaluation Sciences, OES) and worked on high-impact RCTs related to the opioid epidemic. His research primarily focuses on experimental behavioral economics, with an emphasis on behavioral ethics and behavior change. His recent work explores how social norms and nudges influence self-serving beliefs and actions, as well as how these mechanisms shape both pro-social and anti-social behavior in various contexts—on an individual and collective level. He also examines the ways in which these factors contribute to societal polarization. Another area of his research delves into the intersection of corruption, terrorism, and migration. He is particularly interested in understanding the motivations behind migration—both voluntary and forced—and the broader societal effects of these movements. This interest is not only academic but also deeply personal. Having emigrated from Moldova as a refugee following the collapse of the Soviet Union, his firsthand experience has left a lasting impact on his research and perspective.
