Caroline Thomas

Caroline Thomas serves as an Associate Professor of Economics specializing in microeconomic theory and game-theoretic applications. She maintains an active research profile through the Centre for Economic Policy Research (CEPR), focusing on strategic behavior in economic institutions and market design.

Her research program centers on asymmetric information dynamics, examining how cultural transmission affects economic decision-making and how information systems shape financial market outcomes. Key methodologies include stochastic game modeling and mechanism design applied to organizational behavior and credit markets, with particular attention to behavioral biases like overconfidence in strategic contexts.

Recent publications reveal a strong emphasis on behavioral industrial organization, where she investigates cultural dimensions of overconfidence in social networks and optimal credit information architectures. Her work bridges theoretical microeconomics with practical financial system design, demonstrating consistent focus on information asymmetry resolution across both publications.
