Gregory Sun

I am an Economics PhD Candidate at the Olin Business School, Washington University in St. Louis

My interests are in public economics, econometrics, and industrial organization. My research projects span a diverse set of topics including:

1. Empirical mechanism design (e.g., optimal subscriptions design, optimal income taxation)

2. Policy implications of behavioral biases (e.g., how firms can quantify and make use of consumer left-digit bias, how should governments use nudges/taxes together)

3. Analysis of experimental data (e.g., how to reduce variance with covariates, how to estimate structural models given experimental variation)
