Background
I am an economic theorist. I came to economics via computer science. When I studied cryptography, I was interested in how it could be used to design new and better institutions. But cryptography is just one narrow type of incentive, and I became interested in how all kinds of incentives can be employed. I am generally interested in making institutions promote honesty, broadly speaking. For example, how can institutions be designed to resist corruption?
