Maxwell Rosenthal

Hello, I'm an Assistant Professor in the School of Economics at the Georgia Institute of Technology. My research focuses on prior-free approaches to contract theory, mechanism design, and information design, as well as partial identification in both micro theory and econometrics. I have a long-standing interest in studying data-driven decision making in partially identified environments.
