Evan Friedman

Evan Friedman is an Assistant Professor at the Paris School of Economics (PSE), specializing in economic theory and behavioral economics. His research focuses on bounded rationality, belief formation in games, and stochastic choice mechanisms. He co-organizes the ROY theory seminar and the Paris Bounded Rationality Workshop, and is a CESifo affiliate. His work bridges theoretical models with experimental evidence, exploring topics like quantal response equilibrium, strategic uncertainty, and noisy beliefs. Friedman's contributions span interdisciplinary areas such as behavioral game theory and experimental economics.

Notable research includes analyzing mediation fragility in strategic interactions and advancing quantal response equilibrium frameworks. He collaborates widely, with co-authors on topics ranging from deception aversion to multi-attribute decision complexity. His recent papers address endogenous preferences, stochastic equilibria, and the psychological underpinnings of choice elicitation.
