Research Focus
AI in Markets
My research focuses on the intersection of artificial intelligence and markets, with a particular emphasis on how learning dynamics shape competitive behavior. I am especially interested in combining theoretical models with empirical analysis to better understand real-world market outcomes. My work includes projects such as studying learning equilibria in the competitive newsvendor problem and evaluating the performance of large language models in Bertrand competition settings, reflecting a broader goal of bridging economic theory and data-driven insights.
