معرفی
Faruk Gul is the Susan Dod Brown Professor of Economics at Princeton University. His research focuses on decision theory, game theory, and behavioral economics, with a particular emphasis on topics such as preference dynamics, self-control models, and the integration of uncertainty into economic frameworks. He has collaborated extensively with Wolfgang Pesendorfer on foundational work in these areas.
Gul's work explores the implications of ambiguous preferences, strategic interactions under uncertainty, and the design of economic mechanisms. His contributions include seminal studies on coarse competitive equilibrium, calibrated uncertainty, and the theory of random evolving lotteries. His research has been supported by grants from the National Science Foundation (SES-0010394, SES-0820101, SES-0550540, SES-0236882, SES-9911177).
In policy-related areas, his work addresses strategic redistricting, partisan politics, and information warfare in economic systems. He has also contributed to foundational debates in economic methodology, including critiques of traditional rationality assumptions and the case for 'mindless economics.'
Gul's articles span topics such as interdependent preferences, competitive equilibrium models, and the analysis of harmful addiction from an economic perspective. His interdisciplinary approach bridges microeconomic theory, decision science, and political economy.
