Darija is currently studying for the MPhil in Economic Research; the Faculty's foundation year for the PhD. Darija completed her Bachelor's degree at the University of St Andrews.
Darija's research interests lie primarily within behavioural game theory, strategic thinking, and experimental economics (both practical application and methodological issues). Recently, I have added network theory to the list of my research interests. As part of the PhD, I want to design and conduct my own experiments using dynamic games (and, in particular, games played on networks) in order to enhance our understanding of how people think and learn in strategic situations.
