He has served as the Behavioral & Experimental Section Editor of the The New Palgrave Dictionary of Economics; co-editor of a special issue at the Journal of Economic Psychology; and as local committee member and scientific committee member of the Behavioral and Experimental Economists of the Mid-Atlantic (BEEMA) conference.
