Research summary

Microeconomics - Theory and Applications.

My current research is largely focussed on Mechanism Design. In particular, I am investigating how the possibility of renegotiation influences the optimal design of procurement processes.

My first paper: "Renegotiation in Procurement - Dynamic Multidimensional Auction Design" can be accessed at https://drive.google.com/file/d/1p3IFvbu_HRDAHQL0exPu3fKNTS9IFd6g
