J. BRAXTON GATELY, PH.D.
I am an Assistant Professor in the School of Accounting, Finance, Economics, and Decision Sciences at Western Illinois University.
​
Due to mass layoffs at Western Illinois University, I will be a job market candidate for the 2024 - 2025 job market cycle.
​
My primary research field is Behavioral Economics, and I also maintain research interests in Development Economics. I specialize in social
preferences, group dynamics, property rights, and rural issues, with a focus on the usage of experimental methods.
​
Previously, I was a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the Department of Economics at Baylor University, and I received my Ph.D. from the University of Arkansas.
