Duarte Gonçalves

Duarte Gonçalves is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Economics at University College London (UCL). He holds a Ph.D. in economics from Columbia University (2021). His research focuses on microeconomic theory and behavioral economics, with emphasis on information economics, strategic behavior, and the implications of online recommender systems. His work bridges theoretical frameworks with empirical applications, particularly in understanding decision-making dynamics and market mechanisms.

Key research areas include sequential sampling equilibrium, incentives in strategic settings, and the welfare effects of platform dual roles. Collaborations with scholars like Guy Aridor, Teresa Esteban-Casanelles, and Jonathan Libgober have produced influential papers in top journals such as Econometrica and the American Economic Review. His field experiments on platforms like MovieLens explore user behavior and algorithmic impacts, contributing to both theoretical and applied economics.

Gonçalves’ recent work addresses topics such as robust statistical mechanisms, complexity in decision processes, and the informational role of recommendation systems. His contributions span experimental economics, game theory, and computational social choice, reflecting a commitment to interdisciplinary approaches.
