2 Summary

I am an experimental economist with a background in industrial organization and current interest in behavioral change.

I research imperfect competition, market transparency, consumer behavior and privacy. My research is varied but applies mainly to the economics of the Internet, such as intermediation, social network formation, open-source software development and privacy concerns. I am now working on the willingness to follow expert advice, the use of robo-advisers in financial trading and the sources of ethical concerns in managerial decisions.

I worked as a lecturer and as a researcher in the UK, France and Germany. I teach the Role of Experts in Contemporary Society, the Economics of the Internet, Behavioral Game Theory, Industrial Organization, Microeconomics and Scientific Writing.
