Essen’s Home Page:
Thank you
for visiting my homepage.
I am a third
year economics graduate student at the University of Arizona in Tucson.
My main
research focuses on the theory of public
goods and experimental economics.
My
dissertation title is “Implementing Lindahl Allocations—Incorporating Experimental
Observations into Mechanism Design Theory.”
I am also
doing work in the role experience has on the empirical validity of mixed
strategy Nash equilibrium, dynamic stability issues in public good mechanisms, and
whether negative reciprocity can mitigate the holdup problem. Some more
information about my various projects can be found by clicking the research
link below.
Also on this
site you will find a copy of my curriculum vitae, and links to my class
syllabi.
