Andy Choi

Andy Choi is a Postdoc Lecturer in the Department of Economics at the University of Michigan. His research focuses on microeconomic theory, particularly dynamic mechanism design and information economics, with applications to market design and labor economics.

Dr. Choi received his BA in Economics from Seoul National University and his PhD from the University of Chicago. His educational background has positioned him at the intersection of theoretical rigor and practical economic applications.

Choi's research interests span multiple dimensions of microeconomic theory. He specializes in dynamic mechanism design where he examines how optimal selling mechanisms can be designed in environments with stochastic supply and demand. His work on information design explores strategic commitment and information revelation in principal-agent relationships. Choi also investigates matching theory with search frictions and studies dynamic games with irreversibility and monitoring. His research often bridges theoretical models with real-world applications in cloud computing, gig platforms, and blockchain auctions.

Choi's recent publications demonstrate a cohesive research trajectory focused on strategic behavior in dynamic environments. His work consistently addresses how agents make optimal decisions under information asymmetry and uncertainty. Key methodological approaches include game-theoretic modeling, mechanism design, and experimental validation. His papers frequently explore how institutions can be designed to achieve efficient outcomes despite strategic behavior and informational constraints.
