Alexander G. Fulmer
Ph.D. Candidate | Behavioral Marketing
​Yale School of Management
​

​My research interests lie within consumer behavior and social psychology. Specifically, in my dissertation, I challenge the longstanding and intuitive preference for intentionality and effort. I explore ways in which consumers, employees, and organizations can actually derive benefit from chance and unintentional outcomes over and above otherwise identical intentional outcomes.

​I will be joining Cornell University's Nolan School of Hotel Administration as an Assistant Professor of Marketing in the Fall of 2023.
