I am interested in broad topics in economic theory including information economics, dynamic games, contract theory and corporate finance.

I do research in information economics, exploring how people and groups gather and use costly or ambiguous information, especially how the order and timing of data affect decision-making.

My research centers around development economics and economic demography.

Dr. Cockriel studies innovations and technologies throughout history to understand how economies adapt in the long run.

Dr. Brown’s research interests are causal inference and panel data methods.
