About Me

Job Market Paper     CV

I am a behavioural and experimental economist currently working as a postdoctoral researcher at University College London and the London School of Economics

My research is on information economics. I typically use a mixture of experiments and quasi-experimental methods with large, observational datasets to study belief updating and reaction to information

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