I am an Assistant Professor of Economics (tenure-track) at ESMT Berlin.
I am an industrial and behavioral economist using game-theoretic and experimental methods.
My research in industrial organization focuses on the role and impact of consumers’ information, search, intermediation, policy and modern business practices on market outcomes, with a focus on prices. In terms of modeling and conceptual approaches, I am particularly interested in what we can learn from the interaction of (incomplete) consumer consideration sets and competing price-setting sellers.
My research in behavioral economics focuses on measuring individual decision-makers' deviations from "rational" predictions. I also take experimental methods to normative economics, where I explore the nature and role of exploitation in economic environments.
I am proud to have many wonderful coauthors within economics, but also in psychology, philosophy, and information systems.
