BIO
Margarita Kirneva received her PhD from CREST, Ecole Polytechnique, in 2024, under the supervision of Olivier Gossner and Matías Núñez. Prior to that, she obtained a Master’s degree from the same university and a Bachelor’s from the Higher School of Economics. She visited Northwestern University in 2021, invited by Bruno Strulovici. Her main research interests lie in the field of Microeconomic Theory, with a special focus on strategic information transmission and its applications to political economy and industrial organization. More precisely, she studies strategic interactions between informed experts and uninformed decision makers in the presence of a conflict of interests, focusing on the effect of the multidimensionality of the decision environment. She has also studied the design of “good” voting mechanisms for committees.
