Hi, my name is Baiba, I'm a senior research associate and behavioral economist based in Zurich.

My research explores behavioral governance and empirical management, bridging academic insight with practical application.

I combine lab experiments, field data, and economic theory to uncover
why people do what's right – and how to design systems that foster ethical behavior.

I'll be on the academic job market in 2026/2027 for tenure-track assistant or associate professor positions in Switzerland and the DACH region.
