Research Interests
My research investigates issues of information disclosure, information verifiability and legal institutions. In particular, I develop game-theoretic models of contract, which focus on incentives to produce hard evidence. These models are motivated by real-world institutional and technological constraints. Understanding the effects of these constraints is important for the design of contracts and legal institutions. My ongoing research also concerns dispute resolution and the design of the dispute resolution process.
