David joined ESMT Berlin in 2020 as an assistant professor of economics. Previously he worked as a Postdoctoral Prize Research Fellow at Nuffield College and the University of Oxford. David obtained his PhD in Economics at the University of Warwick.
David is an industrial and behavioral economist using game-theoretic and experimental methods. His research in industrial organization focuses on the role and impact of consumersโ information, search, intermediation, policy and modern business practices on market outcomes, with a focus on prices. In terms of modeling and conceptual approach, he is particularly interested in what we can learn from the interaction of (incomplete) consumer consideration sets and competing price-setting sellers. His research in behavioral economics focuses on measuring individual decision-makers' deviations from "rational" predictions. He also takes experimental methods to normative economics, where he explores the nature and role of exploitation in economic environments.
