Muhammed Bulutay

Dr. Muhammed Bulutay is a Research Fellow and Postdoctoral scholar at Heidelberg University, specializing in Behavioral and Experimental Economics. His research focuses on the micro-foundations of macroeconomic activity, particularly expectations formation, strategic uncertainty, and the impact of communication on economic behavior. He is affiliated with the Behavioral Economics research group and regularly presents at international conferences such as the 'Theories and Methods in Macroeconomics' event.

His work combines theoretical models with controlled experiments, as seen in his 2025 paper on 'Irrational Inattention,' which explores how overprecision biases affect information processing. He has also investigated consumer perceptions of central bank inflation forecasts and their implications for monetary policy communication. Bulutay's research has been disseminated through platforms like SSRN and presented at venues including the 12th HKMetrics Workshop.

He maintains active engagement in academic discourse through Bluesky, where he shares insights on methodological advancements, such as the role of laboratory experiments in ensuring participant comprehension. His current postdoctoral role includes a 6-year position emphasizing experimental methods across macro and microeconomics.
