I am a Senior Lecturer in economics at the University of Melbourne studying industrial organization and public economics. I am also a Deputy Director at the Centre for Market Design.
My research focuses on empirical assessments of market design. I use both structural models and reduced-form causal inference techniques to quantify how the design of pricing mechanisms (or the absence of such mechanisms) may distort markets and test policy implementations or market re-designs aimed at improving outcomes.
