Jacob Goeree

Scientia Professor Jacob Goeree is a faculty member at the University of New South Wales (UNSW), affiliated with the UNSW Business School and the Department of Economics. His research focuses on economic theory, experimental economics, and game theory, with notable contributions to auction design, quantal response equilibrium, and market mechanisms. He has published extensively, including influential works on spectrum auctions, mechanism design, and stochastic game theory.

Professor Goeree's research explores the intersection of theoretical models and experimental validation, particularly in understanding strategic behavior in complex economic settings. His work on quantal response equilibrium has advanced behavioral game theory by integrating bounded rationality into equilibrium analysis. Recent contributions include tropical analysis applications to resource allocation and studies on equilibrium synthesis in non-convex economies.

Publications span topics such as spectrum auction mechanisms, risk aversion testing, and duality in economic systems. Notable projects include experimental comparisons of auction formats and the design of combinatorial exchanges for resource rights. While no explicit awards are listed, his prolific output reflects significant academic recognition in his field.

He is actively involved in research partnerships, leveraging UNSW's infrastructure for collaborative projects. His work bridges theoretical insights with practical market design, influencing policy and industry applications in areas like emissions trading and telecommunications spectrum allocation.
