Just started putting together a game theory slide set for my bachelor's class. Unfortunately, the only reference I have is my PhD-level deck. Same-same but different.

A new DP on partial cartels and ringleader discrimination is out. Check it out!

I'm thrilled to announce that I joined @uniofgalway.bsky.social @uniofgalwaycairnes.bsky.social for a permanent position as an Assistant Professor (Lecturer) in Economics. I'm excited to start a new chapter here and looking forward to getting to know everyone!

Thrilled to share that this September I’ll be joining @sotonecon.bsky.social at @unisouthampton.bsky.social pton.bsky.social as a Lecturer 🎉 I look forward to continuing my research in IO, experimental economics, and human-AI interactions, and to engaging more with the UK econ community.

Key takeaways: 🔸Communication reduces suspicion compared to no communication and pre-chat levels. 🔸Suspicion decreases further when receivers learn their sender’s past dictator behavior, especially if it was generous. 🔸The tone of a message can be even more important than its content. #EconSky

A new discussion paper "Suspicion and Communication" (w/ Lisa Bruttel and Friedericke Fromme) is out now! Check it out: ideas.repec.org/p/pot/cepadp... 1/N @cepa-unipotsdam.bsky.social

Just used Gemini Live to participate in a beh. experiment without even reading the instructions or speaking the language. LLMs acting as participants on platforms like Prolific could pollute data meant to study humans. With OpenAI’s operator model, this issue is growing. 🎥👇 youtu.be/NujyGZSA7Hg

I've decided to stop cross-posting on my X account, so I hope to reunite with many of you here! #EconSky

🚀I am excited to announce that I am on the Job Market this year! My JMP, "Destructive Communication" (with M. Andres), shows that when individuals are highly polarized, communication not only fails to promote trust but actively damages it. #Econsky #EconJM #EconJobMarket #JMP 1/4
