Picture
I am an Assistant Professor of Marketing at New York University. 

I research
effective altruism (see here for a short intro to effective altruism and here for my research on it) and decision-making biases. 

In 2019, my work on decision making won the Society for Judgment and Decision Making's Hillel Einhorn New Investigator Award.  Yet, I am still the least cited "Joshua Lewis" on Google Scholar. 

​A list of my papers is below.
​My CV is available here.
