Muhammed Bulutay

Muhammed Bulutay is a postdoctoral fellow at Heidelberg University, specializing in behavioral economics and experimental methods. His research focuses on the microfoundations of macroeconomic activity, particularly how cognitive biases shape economic behavior.

• Key Research Areas: Behavioral economics, experimental economics, information economics, and macroeconomic theory.
• Collaborations: Co-author of Irrational Inattention with Ciril Bosch-Rosa and Bernhard Kassner.

Latest Work Trends explore how overprecision biases distort attention allocation, affecting updating of beliefs and decision-making under information costs. His experiments analyze these biases in contexts ranging from central bank inflation forecasts to strategic uncertainty and asymmetric price transmission.

Methodological Contributions include leveraging experimental designs to validate economic preferences and studying the implications of irrational inattention for welfare economics. He actively participates in academic conferences like the Advances in Field Experiments and CEBRA Annual Meeting.
