I am an experimental economist with research interests in industrial organisation, public economics, and behavioural economics.

For my doctoral thesis I investigated the impact of price setting rules on competition. Current research projects (with Ralph-C Bayer):

  • “Pricing frequency and collusion in infinitely repeated games”
  • “Pricing frequency and collusion dynamics in long duopoly experiments”
  • “How does behaviour differ when decisions can be made in continuous time? Evidence from experimental markets”
