Jakub Steiner graduated from CERGE, Charles University in Prague in 2006. During his PhD studies, he was also a visiting student at LSE. Before he studied economics, he attained MSc in theoretical physics at Charles University.
He is mainly interested in microeconomics, and in particular, in game theory. He tries to understand how people coordinate on actions in situations with strategic complementarities. His research has implications for understanding sudden changes in society which occur during currency attacks, bank runs, revolutions etc. Before his postgraduate studies, Jakub worked as a social worker concentrating on the Roma community, and since then he has been interested in problems of discrimination.
Jakub has left the University of Edinburgh and joined Kellogg School of Management, Northwestern University. |
