Fair Al­loc­a­tion

I ex­am­ine how in­di­vidu­als and so­ci­et­ies make de­cisions, pur­su­ing ef­fi­ciency and fair­ness goals

My research involves mechanism design, social choice, game theory, and decision theory. It tackles questions such as: 

How should we measure individual productivity when people work in teams? 

How should we divide when there is not enough?  

How do we learn about the world?  

How do consumers make purchase decisions when faced with uncertainty about the quality of a good?
