CLP
Contract Decisions of Consumers between Law and Psychology
The interdisciplinary CLP project focuses on consumer behavior: Consumers make decisions on an almost daily basis that bind them to contracts. Depending on the type of contract, bad decisions can be only slightly or very burdensome and can even endanger basic living conditions. What leads people to make good or bad contractual decisions? And who or what protects them from bad decisions?
Project management: Prof. Brigitta Lurger, LL.M (Law), Associate Prof. Ursula Athenstaedt (Psychology).
The CLP project brings together researchers from the fields of psychology, law and economics. The research group attempts to develop a stable basis for the consideration of the findings of modern psychology, behavioral economics and decision sciences in legislation in the area of consumer contract law, which has been little studied in interdisciplinary terms.
Persons involved from the PBB: Prof. Brigitta Lurger, LL.M, Prof. Ursula Athenstaedt, Dr. Hilmar Brohmer, Daniel Köstenbaumer, Dr. Claudia Vogrincic-Haselbacher.
Further cooperation partners: Prof. Joachim Krueger (Brown University) and Prof. Arndt Florack (University of Vienna).
