Areas of research:
- Decision Theory, Decision Making under Risk/Ambiguity, Intertemporal Decision Making, Multicriteria Decision Making, Decision Analysis
- Applied Economics, Operations Management
Research interest:
In general, I am interested in decision theory, decision analysis, and their applications in different areas. I have done some works on intertemporal decision making and decision making with multiple criteria. Recently, I become more interested in decision making under ambiguity in both static and dynamic settings. Besides working on decision theory, I am also interested in its applications in specific various business contexts, ranging from pricing problems to operations management.
