Teaching
Using Economic Research in Practice (2023-2024, Lecturer, Graduate Students, ETH Zurich)
This course explores the methodological foundations of economics: the quest for causality, equilibrium reasonings, and the revealed preferences approach. The aim is to equip students with the necessary tools to effectively navigate existing economic research in order to obtain answers to real-world questions.
Game and Decision Theoretical Approaches to Debates in Epistemology (2022-2023, Lecturer, PhD Students, University of Zurich)
Formal approaches in epistemology have received increasing interest in recent years. This course will offer an overview of their development in two fields: social epistemology and degrees of beliefs. I will introduce basic concepts of game and decision theory as well as bayesian network modelling and discuss their relevance for these fields.
Financial Economics (2023-2024, Co-Lecturer, Graduate Students, ETH Zurich)
This is a theoretical course on the economics of financial decision making, at the crossroads between Microeconomics and Finance. It discusses portfolio choice theory, risk sharing, market equilibrium and asset pricing. The objective is to familiarise students with the economics of financial decision making and develop their intuition regarding the determination of asset prices and the notions of optimal risk sharing.
Economics of Information (2018-2020, T.A., Graduate Students, Université Paris I)
The course introduces the theory of information, as it is used in microeconomics. It will first present models of decision under risk and uncertainty, and the role and value of information in economics. It will then review basic issues in the field of microeconomics: the theory of insurance, the theory of agency, the problems of adverse selection and moral hazard. Specific economic situations were these situations arise will be taken as examples.
Game Theory (2016-2018, T.A., Graduate Students, Paris School of Economics)
Game Theory aims at analyzing strategic situations, that is, situations in which the payoff of an agent payoff may depend on the actions of other agents. Examples of strategic situations are situations are situations of conflict, cooperation, coordination, information transmission or manipulation. Game theory has applications in several fields, such as economics, politics, law and biology. In this course, we will introduce the basic tools of game theory, and some of the main applications of game theory will be outlined.
