About
Hello, I'm an Assistant Professor in the School of Economics at the Georgia Institute of Technology. My research focuses on prior-free approaches to contract theory, mechanism design, and information design, as well as partial identification in both micro theory and econometrics. I have a long-standing interest in studying data-driven decision making in partially identified environments.

preprintOpen access1st authorCorrespondingThis paper develops a prior-free model of data-driven decision making in which the decision maker observes the entire distribution of signals generated by a known experiment under an unknown distribution of the state variable and evaluates actions according to their worst-case payoff over the set of state distributions consistent with that observation. We show how our model applies to partial identification in econometrics and propose a ranking of experiments in which E is robustly more informat…
