About Me

Job Market Paper     CV

I am a PhD Candidate at the Department of Economics at the University of Exeter in the UK. I work at the intersection of behavioural & experimental economics and applied microeconomics. I typically use large, observational datasets and causal inference methods to study information and beliefs, and judgement and decision making.

In my job market paper, I study how humans react to information in naturalistic settings using data from elite sports. I find that fans optimally weigh past athlete outcomes when making judgements about future outcomes. This behaviour is consistent with rational decision making.

I am currently looking for jobs on the academic job market.
