She has been a faculty member at the University of British Columbia, Virginia Tech, and the University of Texas at Dallas, where she founded and oversaw the Center for Behavioral and Experimental Economic Science. Her research focuses on experimental economics, and she has studied charitable giving; cooperation, trust, and risk tolerance in poor, urban settings; the coordination of counter-terrorism policy; gender differences in preferences and behavior; and discrimination by race and gender as evidenced in games of trust. She has received 24 grants, totaling $4.4 million, from the National Science Foundation. The Russel Sage Foundation, John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation are some of the other foundations that have funded her research. She was a past-President of the Economic Science Association, the professional organization of experimental economists, and a past-President of the Southern Economic Association.
