Hi! I am Giacomo Weber.
I am a PhD candidate at Paris School of Economics and EHESS. I am currently visiting MIT Sloan during the spring semester!
I am interested in Bounded Rationality and Economic Theory. My research focuses on modeling strategic frameworks where agents are not cognitive rational. I find particularly exciting the theme of players forming beliefs in relation to categories and coarse understading of complex environments.
I am also interested in Organizational Economics and how different assumptions on belief formation and categories might contribute on the discussion about organizational culture.
If interested, you can find my CV here and my google scholar account here.
For my research, see below.

Abstract: Normal-form two-player games are categorized by players into K analogy classes so as to minimize the prediction error about the behavior of the opponent. This results in Calibrated Analogy-Based Expectation Equilibria in which strategies are analogy-based expectation equilibria given the analogy partitions and analogy partitions minimize the prediction errors given the strategies. We distinguish between environments with self-repelling analogy partitions in which some mixing over partitions is required and environments with self-attractive partitions in which several analogy partitions can arise, thereby suggesting new channels of belief heterogeneity and equilibrium multiplicity.
