Research
Our research in economic theory covers matching and mechanism design, information and game theory, social choice and political economy, and decision-making under risk and uncertainty. We also work on industrial organisation and competition policy, including digital platforms, as well as general equilibrium and incomplete markets, evolutionary games and learning, and dynamic economic theory and evolutionary finance.
