I am an engineer and a game theorist by training, and a social scientist by taste. I guess that's what made me an economist by profession. Over the recent years, I've cultivated a research agenda integrating theory, data and fieldwork, with a specific focus on medium-sized companies. This complements my longstanding research interests in game theory and information economics, industrial organization, regulation, and environmental economics.
