 CV


Job Market Paper:

I study markets in which firms delegate their decisions to learning algorithms, and give a characterisation of long-run behavior of those algorithms. This will allow to better understand how economic outcomes like collusion depend on market conditions and algorithms at play. My framework applies to various settings of general interest, including algorithmic bidding and platform design.

Research Fields:

Microeconomic Theory, Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning, Econometric Theory
