Guy Ishai



Biography

I am a PhD candidate at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, supervised by Prof. Ori Heffetz. I am interested in people's expectations under uncertainty, in their understanding of strategic mechanisms, and in the measurement of these perceptions. Can better measurement improve our understanding of these concepts, and better account for them when explaining behavior, designing mechanisms and communicating information? I use carefully designed, theory-guided experiments to study such questions.
