Noah specialises in experimental and behavioural economics with a focus on the importance of identity in forming behaviour. He uses experimental methods to study how these behavioural differences manifest and contribute to disparity in economic outcomes across social groups.
His current research contributes to our understanding of in-group bias in trust, the effect of social norms, and the power of group identity in encouraging antisocial behaviour. He currently has working papers looking at the causal effects of social status on the willingness to oppress, the effect of exposure to populist rhetoric on willingness to participate in anti-democratic behaviour, and the intersection between inequity, views of deservingness and redistributive preferences.
Noah has an open-door policy for researchers of any level looking for advice on their experiments. Beyond direct consultation, he organises the CESS colloquia series, teaches in the Oxford Spring School, and teaches multiple experimental methods and statistics courses in the Department each year.
