Overall Research Project Description This research project aims to test the property of information cost functions known as Blackwell monotonicity. Blackwell monotonicity is a key property that describes how the cost of acquiring information should change as the quality of information improves. To explore this, we will first build a theoretical framework predicting the behavior of information cost functions under Blackwell monotonicity. Following this, we will design and conduct an empirical experiment to test these theoretical predictions.
Research Tasks Data Collection
Skills that research assistant(s) may need: Real Analysis required
Linear Algebra required
Mentoring Philosophy My mentoring philosophy centers on creating a supportive and inclusive environment that fosters personal and professional growth. I believe in personalized guidance tailored to each mentee’s unique goals, encouraging independence while providing the necessary support. By promoting collaboration, continuous learning, and ethical integrity, I aim to inspire and empower mentees to become confident, self-reliant professionals. I emphasize the importance of constructive feedback, emotional support, and fostering a culture of respect and accountability, preparing mentees for successful and fulfilling careers.
