Yaron Raviv

Yaron Raviv is an Associate Professor of Economics at the Robert Day School of Economics and Finance. His expertise spans auctions, public choice, and statistics. He teaches statistics and game theory, with research interests in applied microeconomics, labor economics, and public finance. His work bridges theoretical models with empirical applications, focusing on auction mechanisms, labor market dynamics, and public policy design.

Education: B.A. and M.A. from Hebrew University, Ph.D. in Economics from Princeton University.

Research Interests: Dr. Raviv explores auction theory through empirical studies of price dynamics in sequential auctions and online platforms. He investigates labor market disparities, such as wage gaps between ethnic groups, and applies game theory to analyze public choice dilemmas (e.g., optimal jury sizes, heroism in collective action scenarios). His work frequently intersects with behavioral economics and policy implications.

Publications Trends: His articles analyze auction mechanisms, labor market structures, and public choice frameworks. Recent work examines Yahoo!’s auction mechanisms and the role of bidding processes in price determination. Earlier studies include empirical analyses of used car auctions and jury deliberation models.
