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?
