Han Seo
I am a postdoctoral reseracher in UC Berkeley after having earned my Ph.D. in Economics from California Institute of Technology. I am an experimental economist who is interested in both theory and the experiment. In my job market paper, I show how individuals have heterogeneous other-regarding preferences that are consistent across different experimental settings. I also worked on a market-based auction-like solution to a transportation problem where there are non-convexities. My other works deal with how tick size changes in financial markets affect liquidity and the price aggregation process and how the unreliability of a news source can disrupt the information cascade.
