Overview

Angel Sánchez is affiliated with Carlos III University of Madrid in Spain. Their research spans across Social Sciences with a focus on several subfields including Sociology and Political Science, Statistical and Nonlinear Physics, Safety Research, Economics and Econometrics, and Experimental and Cognitive Psychology.

They have contributed significantly on topics such as Evolutionary Game Theory and Cooperation, Experimental Behavioral Economics Studies, Opinion Dynamics and Social Influence, Complex Network Analysis Techniques, Evolutionary Psychology and Human Behavior, Social Capital and Networks, and Cultural Differences and Values.

Throughout their career, Sánchez has collaborated frequently with several coauthors, most notably José A. Cuesta, Giulia Andrighetto, Juan Ozaita, Alberto Antonioni, and Sergey Gavrilets.

Their recent papers include:

  • Evidence from a long-term experiment that collective risks change social norms and promote cooperation (2021, Nature Communications)
  • The role of complexity for digital twins of cities (2023, Nature Computational Science)
  • Paid and hypothetical time preferences are the same: Lab, field and online evidence (2022, arXiv (Cornell University))
  • Modelling social norms: an integration of the norm-utility approach with beliefs dynamics (2024, Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B Biological Sciences)
  • Gossip and competitive altruism support cooperation in a Public Good game (2021, Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B Biological Sciences)

Sánchez has published extensively in a variety of venues, with frequent publications appearing in Scientific Reports, arXiv (Cornell University), Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research), PNAS Nexus, and Nature Communications.

In addition to journal articles, Sánchez has authored books, including a publication with IntechOpen titled "Current and Emerging Challenges in the Diseases of Trees" (2022).
