I am a Lecturer in Economics at Cardiff Metropolitan University, working in theoretical microeconomics. I am interested in models of the provision of information, and the reasons why people might benefit from themselves or others being less-than-perfectly-informed.

My job market paper looks at the incentives players in a game have to commit to revealing information about their payoffs, and how the properties of the game they will play determine whether the prevailing outcome is revelation, concealment, or something in between. My other working papers include a model of confirmation-biased agents who find it unpleasant to discover that their initial beliefs were wrong, and a model in which it is beneficial for voters to have imperfect information about the outcomes of a vote, since it mitigates the impact of the 'tyranny of the majority'.
