Jana Gallus

Associate Professor (with tenure)

Strategy and Behavioral Decision Making

I am an economist with expertise in incentives and organizational design.

My research and teaching lie at the intersection of strategy, innovation, and behavioral economics. I have worked with several organizations and platforms, including Wikipedia, NASA, private sector firms (mostly tech), the American Red Cross, hospitals, schools, and universities.

I advise organizations across a range of industries and sectors, often with a focus on incentive design, innovation prizes, impact evaluation, or inclusion.

Other hats I’m wearing:

  • Founding Director, Center for Incentive Design

  • Associate Editor, Management Science

  • Standing panelist, National Science Foundation (NSF)

  • Director, UCLA Anderson Behavioral Lab
