PhD Research Showcase
Policy Innovation through Experimental Economics: Case Studies in Cybercrime and Gender - Rebecca Heath (KC 2016)
My research uses online experiments to test and develop policies to address global challenges, such as cybercrime and gender inequality. In my PhD thesis, I evaluate the effect of rating attacks and good seizures on cybercrime marketplaces, both in single-market and two-market settings, using these experimental methods.
Between Distress and Zombification: Understanding Firm Financial Viability for Monetary Policy Transmission – Lea Havemeister (KC 2023)
Amidst the recent spike in interest rates, questions around the efficiency of the transmission of monetary policy have regained prominence. I study the role of monetary policy shocks on firms’ balance sheets, accounting for degrees of financial viability by differentiating healthy, distressed and zombie firms.
The Clean Transition in a Network Economy – Shane Mahen (KC 2013)
In this paper, I take a network-based approach to study the effect of green industrial policy on technology adoption, total emissions, and aggregate output.
