At Maastricht University (2015-2018)

1. Behavioral Economics (Undergraduate): We cover individual decision-making (violations of expected utility theory, time inconsistent preferences) and provided behavioral theories that better explain commonly observed phenomena. We also analyze models of other-regarding preferences, experiments on coordination in games with multiple equilibria, and level-k reasoning. The main topics are motivated via in-class experiments.


2. Internet Economics (Masters):  This course covers two-sided markets, networks, price discrimination and auctions with direct applications to internet-based businesses and activities.



January 2018. Giving a lecture about "Reflections on Academic Discourse" at Maastricht University

1. Markets and Information (Syllabus): How do individuals and firms make decisions and how, through market interaction, do these decisions determine the allocation of resources in society? In this course, students will learn what the main forces shaping market outcomes are. There will be in-depth discussions of the effects of government intervention and the situations in which governments can improve overall welfare due to market imperfections. 

2. Behavioral Economics. (Syllabus):​ This course introduces students to the field of behavioral economics, which seeks to combine standard economic modeling with more psychologically-plausible assumptions about human behavior. This is accomplished by making nonstandard assumptions about human preferences, exploring nonstandard beliefs, and emphasizing the limitations of our decision-making faculties. 

3. Fairness (Syllabus): What is fair and what is unfair? Is fairness universal? Are equality and fairness synonyms? How can we build a fairer world?  The plurality of fairness ideals may lead to breakdown in negotiations, social conflict, or other undesirable outcomes. This Colloquium draws from disciplines including philosophy, psychology, political science, economics, and organizational behavior to question our own notions and judgments and arrive at a holistic understanding of fairness as a concept.

Previous Teaching Experience

Currently Teaching at NYU Abu Dhabi

At Ohio State University (2010-2015)

1. Business and Government (Undergraduate): In this course I provided students with a theoretical framework with which to understand how changes in government regulation (taxes, subsidies, pollution quotas, antitrust laws) affect businesses' productive decisions. We studied incentives to lobby and generate favorable regulation.


2. The American Revenue System (Undergraduate): This was mainly a course on public finance and taxation with emphasis on the American Fiscal System. I taught it during the 2012 presidential campaign so an essential part of course was to study the different tax cuts Proposed by Obama and Romney as well as the focus of their government spending.
