This project aims at filling this gap by endogenizing ethnic identity. We ...

Start date: Sep 1, 2013, End date: Aug 31, 2017,

"Good policy design requires understanding of how agents respond to incentives and how they interact through market and non-market institutions. New approaches to policy design have recently emerged. These rely on controlled experiments as well as analysis of natural policy experiments. They allow us not only to evaluate whether a policy has been successful but also to test the theoretical channel ...

Game Theory and Applications in the Presence of Cognitive Limitations (GTAPCL)

Start date: Jan 1, 2009, End date: Dec 31, 2013,

Game theory has been very successful in shaping modern economic theory over the past fifty years. Yet, the solution concepts developed under the assumption of perfect rationality require a degree of cognitive sophistication on players part that need not be realistic. In this project, I wish to broaden the definitions of equilibrium concepts to take into account the cognitive limitations of player ...

"Actors, Markets, and Institutions in Developing Countries: A micro-empirical approach" (AMID)

Start date: Sep 1, 2008, End date: Aug 31, 2012,

"Development Economics has seen an explosion of high quality empirical work in the past ten years. But despite the quality of many individual researchers, Europe is lagging behind the US in terms of number of students, faculty, and publications. Remedying this gap is important, not only for scientific reasons, but also because development research is a critical input to decision making by Governme ...
