About me

I am an Associate Professor of Economics in the College of Business at the University of Central Florida. My research focuses on how consumers and firms make decisions when information is limited, strategically disclosed, or costly to interpret. I am especially interested in how consumers rationally interpret communications from firms and how pricing rules, disclosure environments, and market design shape behavior and outcomes. More broadly, I aim to identify and explain economic phenomena wherever they appear—including in settings where the economic forces at work are not always fully appreciated—and to bring economic reasoning to new audiences and related fields, including marketing and real estate. My work has been published in journals including Games and Economic Behavior, Journal of Economic Behavior & Organization, Economic Inquiry, International Journal of Industrial Organization, International Journal of Research in Marketing, and Real Estate Economics. At UCF, I teach microeconomics and game theory at the undergraduate, MBA and Ph.D. levels. I earned my Ph.D. in Business Economics from Indiana University’s Kelley School of Business, an M.A. in Mathematics from the University at Albany (SUNY), and a B.B.A. in Finance and Accounting from the University of Michigan Ross School of Business.
