Sandro Brusco

Sandro Brusco is a Professor of Economics at Stony Brook University, specializing in Game Theory, Microeconomics, and Auction Theory. He holds a position in the Department of Economics and teaches courses such as Microeconomics I, Industrial Organization, and Game Theory at the graduate level, alongside undergraduate courses in Mathematical Statistics and Corporate Finance.

His research focuses on strategic interactions in economic environments, particularly in auction mechanisms, political economy models, and financial systems. Notable contributions include work on runoff voting systems, contingent re-auctions, and coordination in procurement auctions with uncertain scale economies. He has also explored topics like liquidity contagion in financial markets and regulatory consensus dynamics.

Brusco’s publications span top journals such as the Journal of Economic Theory, Journal of Finance, and International Economic Review. His work often integrates theoretical frameworks with empirical analysis, as seen in studies combining auction theory with real-world data (e.g., FCC spectrum auctions).

Professionally, he serves as a referee for leading economics journals (American Economic Review, Econometrica) and is on the editorial board of the B.E. Journals of Theoretical Economics. His research has implications for public policy, market design, and corporate finance.
