Maher Said

Maher Said serves as an Associate Professor of Economics at New York University's Stern School of Business, specializing in information economics and dynamic mechanism design with applications to contract theory and market mechanisms under information asymmetries.

His academic background includes:

• PhD in Economics from Yale University

Said's research program investigates how information asymmetries shape optimal institutional design, particularly in strategic communication environments and financial markets. His work employs advanced game-theoretic frameworks to analyze persuasion mechanisms, dynamic incentive structures, and the interplay between information revelation and market efficiency. Current projects examine Bayesian persuasion models and career concerns among financial analysts, bridging theoretical mechanism design with empirical market applications.

His recent publications demonstrate consistent focus on strategic information transmission and dynamic contracting, with 2023's "Indirect Persuasion" extending persuasion theory to multi-agent settings while 2022's "Dynamic Incentives for Buy-Side Analysts" reveals how career concerns distort financial analysis. These works collectively advance understanding of information-sensitive market mechanisms across industrial organization and financial economics domains.
