معرفی
Luc Bridet is a Lecturer in the School of Economics & Finance at the University of St Andrews, UK. He is actively involved in research and teaching, with a strong focus on microeconomic theory and its applications in information, behaviour, and institutional design. He is currently accepting postgraduate research students and supervises PhD projects in areas such as organisational incentives, charity evaluation, and higher education policy.
Research Interests: Luc's research centers on the economics of information, particularly the trade-off between experimentation and optimal decision-making under uncertainty. He explores behavioural aspects such as image concerns, self-delusion, and self-signalling, and applies indirect inference methods to test theoretical models using real-world data, especially in higher education contexts. His broader expertise includes microeconomic theory, industrial organisation, public economics, contract theory, and experimentation.
Publication Trends: His recent publications reflect a consistent focus on strategic behaviour under asymmetric information. Topics include endogenous optimism in financial markets, taxation of persuasive efforts in conflict settings, and the labour market consequences of educational timing. These works combine theoretical modelling with practical implications, often using dynamic frameworks and real-world calibration.
