Professor Feinberg's research centers on the analysis of information in strategic decision making, with a particular focus on modeling games with unawareness. His work explores how decision makers reason about the extent to which others may have limited perception of economic interactions. He has made significant contributions to understanding costly decision making, reasoning about unawareness, dynamic interactive decisions, and reasoning about high order uncertainties. His theoretical frameworks have practical applications in areas such as expert testing, bargaining delays, and strategic communication, revealing how information structures fundamentally shape strategic behavior in economic contexts.
Feinberg's publications demonstrate a consistent trajectory from foundational work on subjective reasoning in games toward increasingly sophisticated models incorporating unawareness and higher-order uncertainties. The recurring theme across his work is how belief systems and information structures influence strategic interactions, with applications spanning economic theory, organizational behavior, and decision science.
His notable honors include:
- Robert and Marilyn Jaedicke Faculty Fellow (2022-23)
- Distinguished Teaching Award, MBA, Stanford GSB (2003)
