About myself

 

I am a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Economics at The Pennsylvania State University. Completion of the program is expected in Spring 2008. My major research interests are Microeconomic Theory, Game Theory, and Monetary Economics. For the last 2 years I participated in seven conferences.

My current research is focused on two main areas. The first is information trading in social networks with rational agents. I have developed a formal model and found stationary equilibria for the linear network. I showed that the price the sellers ask does not converge to zero with time, and in some equilibria every agent has a chance to stay uninformed forever. The second is on continuum economies.

I have substantial teaching experience in Microeconomics, Macroeconomics, Econometrics, Statistics and Mathematics.
