I am an associate professor of economics at UC Santa Cruz.  I am an economic theorist, and my research focuses primarily on decision theory, behavioral economics, revealed preference theory, and experimental economics. Much of my research addresses three broad questions: 

• How do people respond to different forms of information? 

• How can we nonparametrically identify economic and behavioral factors from observed economic data (e.g., experimental data), particularly when the data are stochastic? 

• How can we model bounded rationality and understand its implications for observed economic behavior?
