Research
My research explores the dynamics of demand and supply in network and cultural industries, with a particular emphasis on digital markets and platforms. Using structural demand estimation, quasi-experimental methods, and unique large-scale datasets, I examine how strategic firms shape boundedly rational consumer behavior, competitive dynamics, and market outcomes in sectors such as telecommunications, recorded music, and video gaming. Additionally, I am interested in the effect of regulations on these markets, focusing on their impact on prices, product variety, and quality.
