Willis Experimental Economics Laboratory at University of Massachusetts Amherst. Sherry’s researches look at how people make decisions under risks in the areas of labor economics, health economics and applied econometrics, using methods of mathematical modeling, experimental design and a wide range of statistical toolkits. In one project, she analyzes the effects of dropout risks and students’ risk attitudes on educational choices and degree wage premiums in the equilibrium of an experimental labor market. In the other two projects related to health economics, she investigates the determinants of the college students’ flu shot decisions, and examines the effects of negative aging stereotypes on older adults’ risk and time preferences as well as their preventative health care decisions.
