Robert Press

Hello!

I am currently an Economist working for the Federal Government. Before that I worked as a Postdoctoral Fellow at the McDonough School of Business at Georgetown University. I received my Ph.D. in Economics from the University of Oklahoma in 2021. My research studies the role of individual and firm level networks on market outcomes, such as bidding behavior and contract renegotiation. 

My graduate work focused on networks between auction participants and remains a topic I am deeply interested in, but I have more recently branched out to other topics within industrial organization such as customer switching in electricity markets and the effectiveness of antitrust policy.
