Economics

Quantitative economics with emphasis on behavioral effects, simulation models, and game-theoretic analysis.

Agent-based modeling of wealth distribution uses the Affine Wealth Model to simulate how tax policy, asset returns, and wage dispersion produce Pareto-distributed outcomes. The behavioral economics of transit policy examines the zero price effect, where making public transport free generates disproportionate demand shifts relative to equivalent fare reductions.

Applied game theory coverage includes Super Bowl ad economics analyzing signaling, auction dynamics, and the $7 million question of whether broadcast advertising still works.
