Joe Goodman

Joe’s research investigates choice overload, variety seeking, and consumers’ attraction to large product and feature assortments. He also investigates crowdsourcing research methodologies (aka, Mturk), as well as the consumption and purchase of experiences and material goods and its effect on happiness, well-being, and impatience. Joe received his PhD from The University of Texas at Austin, and enjoys traveling, pick-up ball (not while traveling), tinted glasses, Europe ’72, Friendster, and consuming in the natural habitat.
