Ingela Alger

Ingela Alger is a CNRS researcher at TSE. Her research, at the intersection between economics and evolutionary anthropology and biology focuses on the long run formation of human preferences, when these are transmitted from generation to generation and are subject to selection. She is particularly interested in preferences that might explain moral and altruistic behaviors, as well as behaviors within the family. She currently has an ERC Advanced Grant (2019-2024).
