Philipp Renner

Dr. Philipp Renner is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Economics at Lancaster University Management School (LUMS). His research focuses on computational economics and game theory, particularly addressing dynamic incentive problems in taxation, managerial remuneration, insurance, and policy design. These problems involve complex mathematical challenges such as bilevel optimization and dynamic programming.

He is actively involved in interdisciplinary research, emphasizing computational challenges in solving high-dimensional dynamic programs and dynamic game equilibria. His work bridges theoretical economics with practical algorithmic solutions. Renner participates in notable research groups including the Centre for Financial Econometrics, Asset Markets and Macroeconomic Policy, and the Economics Research Group.

Key research themes include monetary policy analysis, optimal fiscal frameworks, and the application of machine learning to incentive problems. His recent contributions include studies on persistent supply shocks in monetary policy and polynomial optimization approaches to principal-agent models. Renner’s academic activities span conference presentations on topics like dynamic incentive mechanisms and computational economics, reflecting his commitment to advancing quantitative methods in economic analysis.
