She completed her Ph.D. in Economics and her field of research is behavioral economics. Ágnes spent two semesters at the Faculty of Economics of the University of Cambridge, in the United Kingdom, as a visiting Ph.D. student. She investigates the psychological influences on economic decision making: why do people make their economic decisions the way they do it. She creates her own mathematical model, which is a simulation of the interaction between rational objectivity and emotional subjectivity in economic decision making. During her research, Ágnes tested in practice the idea behind the model on a sample of decision makers, and she also conducted an economic laboratory experiment to study the effects of mood on investment decision making.
