Please join us for a talk with Dr. Leon Musolff, Assistant Professor in Wharton's Business Economics and Public Policy group.

His research concentrates on the empirical analysis of e-commerce platforms using tools from structural industrial organization and causal inference techniques from applied microeconomics. Dr. Musolff explores how online platforms can design their marketplaces to shape algorithmic competition between merchants, allow for detection of collusive bidding rings, and tradeoff entry incentives against the need to surface competitively priced products in search and recommendation algorithms.
