Dániel Gyetvai is a labour economist who uses simple theoretical models alongside standard econometric techniques to study the effects of labour market policies.

Itzhak is a behavioural economist whose work blends experimentation (often in the field) with microeconomic theory. His research explores a variety of questions including why double auctions produce equilibrium prices, whether attitudes towards redistribution depend on attitudes towards race, and whether level-k reasoning underpins auction bidding. In his job market paper, he conducts the first large-scale field experiment on the manipulability of prediction markets.
Job market paper:
How Manipulable Are Prediction Markets?
Diego de Sousa Rodrigues is a macroeconomist specialising in heterogeneous agent models and their role in understanding business cycles and optimal policy design. His job market paper explores a new mechanism capturing the cost-of-carry channel of monetary policy, showing how inventory costs influence pricing and link monetary policy to inflation dynamics.
