My Research


I research on (1) Industrial Organization, in particular the Economics and Financing of Innovation, Intellectual Property Rights, and Competition Law and Policy, (2) the Economics of Social Interactions and Networks, and (3) Applications of Contract Theory.


I have won a Marsden Fast Start Grant from the Royal Society of New Zealand in the amount of NZ$ 300,000 for research on the interaction of Venture Capital Financing of Innovation and Intellectual Property Rights. This project is joint with Nisvan Erkal and Simona Fabrizi. Marsden Grants are the New Zealand equivalent to NSF Grants in the U.S., only one out of ten applications is successful.

It has been cited in the Quarterly Journal of Economics, the Journal of Economic Literature, the Journal of Economic Theory, the Journal of Economic Dynamics and Control, the International Journal of Game Theory, the B.E.
