Camerer

Camerer is a surname found in biographical and academic contexts. It is carried by individuals in various fields, most notably in the social sciences, where the name appears in scholarly profiles and publications.

The best-known contemporary bearer is Colin Camerer (born 1959), an American economist and professor at the California Institute of Technology. He is recognized for contributions to behavioral economics, experimental economics, game theory, and neuroeconomics. Camerer’s work often explores how people make decisions in strategic situations, incorporating cognitive biases and social factors into economic models. His research has helped advance the interdisciplinary field of neuroeconomics, which examines the neural basis of decision making and economic behavior.

Beyond Colin Camerer, the surname may appear in other biographical references, genealogical records, or local histories, but it does not correspond to a widely established geographic location, organization, or canonical corpus in the way some other surnames do.
