Andrei Matveenko

Andrei Matveenko is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Department of Economics, University of Mannheim, affiliated with the Collaborative Research Center TR 224 and the Mannheim Center for Competition and Innovation. His research centers on information economics and rational inattention within applied economic theory.

Education:

• PhD from CERGE-EI, Prague (supervised by Filip Matějka)

Matveenko's research investigates how limited attention shapes economic decisions, spanning belief polarization, sequential search, targeted advertising, and voting mechanisms. His work integrates theoretical modeling with experimental validation, employing tools from game theory, behavioral economics, and decision theory to analyze attention constraints in discrete choice scenarios.

His publication trajectory reveals deepening applications of rational inattention—from foundational models (2019-2020) to experimental validations (2021-2024) in advertising, voting, and search contexts. The interdisciplinary nature bridges microeconomic theory with behavioral insights, consistently focusing on information processing limitations.

Supported by the Collaborative Research Center TR 224, Matveenko previously held positions at the University of Copenhagen. His current work leverages institutional resources from both the TR 224 center and Mannheim Center for Competition and Innovation to advance research on attentional constraints in economic systems.
