Joshua Lewis is Assistant Professor of Marketing at New York University. His research focuses on decisions that have important implications for wellbeing, such as philanthropists deciding which cause to tackle, politicians deciding which policy to adopt, or scientists deciding whether to publish potentially dangerous findings. Current research questions include why people neglect catastrophic risks, why people neglect high stakes outcomes with low probabilities, and why people are intolerant of uncertainty in altruistic decisions. His work has been published in leading journals such as Psychological Science and Journal of Experiment Psychology: General.
