Research:
My research provides an interdisciplinary insight into the issue of inefficiency in important collective-action problems: coordination games and public goods games. Using game theory, behavioral economics and social psychology, I design laboratory experiments to learn (i) when and why these inefficiencies arise (exploring such factors as social preferences, bounded rationality, strategic uncertainty), and (ii) whether institutions involving information transmission may help improve the efficiency of human interactions.
