Research overview
Luc’s primary interests are in the economics of information, particularly when economic agents face a trade-off between experimenting to learn about their environment and behaving optimally based on what they already know. He is also interested in behavioural economics questions related to image concerns, self-delusion and self-signalling, and in the use of indirect inference methods to match these theoretical models to real-world data, particularly in higher education applications.
