DR@W
Decision Research at Warwick (DR@W) is an interdisciplinary initiative which focuses on behavioural and experimental research of decision making.
Formed in January 2010, DR@W brings together researchers and students from Economics, Psychology, Statistics, Warwick Mathematics Institute, Warwick Manufacturing Group and Warwick Business School that are interested in current developments in the area of experimental and behavioural research.
The Department of Economics have created and manage a large computer laboratory for use with experiments.

Rising costs for companies have led to the proliferation of shrinkflation——the practice of decreasing the size of the product without adjusting its price—and skimpflation—the practice of decreasing the quality of the product without adjusting its price. While shrinkflation and skimpflation are becoming increasingly prevalent practices in the marketplace, there’s limited understanding of consumer perceptions towards those practices. In this seminar, I will discuss the results of multiple preregistered studies that investigate consumers’ beliefs about the extent to which shrinkflation and skimpflation are fair practices in response to cost increases.
