Benjamin Young

Benjamin Young is Lecturer in the Economics Discipline Group at UTS Business School, specializing in behavioral economics and microeconomic theory. His research examines systematic deviations from rational expectations, cognitive limitations in market interactions, and incentive structures.

Theoretical contributions include modeling goal-setting under preference disagreements, market outcomes under consumer misperception, and equilibrium analysis of cognitive states in competitive environments. Current projects investigate time preferences and growth mindset through experimental approaches.

Grant support: 'Time Preferences and Growth Mindset' project funded by UTS Business School Research Grant (2023-2024). Teaching includes microeconomic theory applications to market design and behavioral anomalies.
