Theodor Kouro

Hi! I am a PhD candidate and a Junior Researcher at CERGE-EI in Prague (a joint work place of Charles University and the Economics Institute of the Czech Academy of Sciences). I joined John List's team as a visiting scholar at the Kenneth Griffin Economics Department, University of Chicago, during Fall 2023.

My research spans behavioral, experimental, and development economics, with a strong interest in gender economics. In particular, I explore the role of autonomy/agency on prosocial behavior in charitable giving and volunteering effort, emphasizing the behavioral mechanisms driving agents to increase giving and effort. I conduct large-scale natural field experiments in relevant settings and collaborate with large NGOs such as UNICEF, corporations, Education Foundations, and, more recently, government institutions in Albania. Currently, I am working on several nationwide field experiments in the field of education in collaboration with established researchers and partnerships with the Albanian government and many universities in Albania and Uzbekistan.
