Welcome! I'm an Assistant Professor of Economics at UCLA. I was previously a postdoc at Caltech and hold a PhD from Stanford.

I work on economic theory, particularly costly information acquisition/processing ("rational inattention"), mechanism and information design, and dynamic incentives. My current research focuses on (i) rational inattention in both single-agent and design settings and (ii) dynamic incentive problems with applications in macro and political economy.

Here are my CV and Google Scholar. Feel free to reach out at abloedel@econ.ucla.edu.
