I am an experimental economist working as a postdoctoral researcher at the Institute for Advanced Study in Toulouse.
My research is focused on cooperation, specifically on reciprocity and conditional cooperation. A particular application of this literature that I am interested in is social production goods such as open-source software, wikis, public guides, and so on.
For my research, I use methods from microeconomics, game theory, behavioral and experimental economics, agent-based modeling, and social choice theory.
I am also interested in software development related to experimental social sciences and data analysis.
-
zBrac: a tool for the well-known behavioral experiment software z-Tree, which helps you conduct multilanguage experiments. We built it with Python and Qt5, together with Anna Schroeter.
-
choicepy: A python package for a social choice theory simulations tool for Python. It has very few features yet. Made together with Annika Hennes. We also used it for our research paper "Wisdom of crowds and voting."
-
matchgreek: A tool for LaTeX that tells you which greek symbols you already used and which are still available.
-
flyCSV: This tiny R package allows you to look at your data frames as CSV files on the fly.
-
Qualtrics IBAN Checker: Qualtrics adaptation of a simple JavaScript IBAN validator.
-
oTree Community Book (currently oTre version 3): This is an open-documentation project I am planning for the behavioral experiment software oTree. At the moment repository contains my notes of the oTree course that I have given at the Max Planck Institute.
-

Introduction to ggplot2: This is the repository for 3 hours workshop on ggplot that I gave at the Judgment and Decision Making (JDMx) Workshop in 2019.
Some of my repositories are on my previous account: @seyhunsaral
Here are some tools that I use (or enjoyed using in the past):
