Evan Sadler’s research focuses on two main areas. One is the economics of networks, where he is particularly interested in how behaviors and information spread through social ties. He seeks to better understand how the structure of social networks influences the aggregation of information, the diffusion of innovations, and incentives to share or gather information. A second area is incentives within organizations. Here, his interests lie mostly in incentives for innovation and experimentation.
