The Centre for Experimental Social Sciences (CESS) Nuffield - FLAME University is pleased to welcome Professor Raymond Duch, Official Fellow at Nuffield College, University of Oxford and the Director of the Nuffield Centre for Experimental Social Sciences. His research focuses on responsibility attribution, incorporating elements of theory, experiments and analysis of public opinion. His award-winning 2008 Cambridge University Press book entitled The Economic Vote demonstrates that citizens hold political parties accountable for economic outcomes. More recently, Professor Duch has turned to experiments in order to identify the information shortcuts that individuals deploy for attributing responsibility for collective decision making.
