>Hello Denis,
>
>Michael Dinerstein forwarded me your request for applications to the
>Economics of Digitization Meeting/Tutorial.
>
>I'm a 3rd year economics PhD student at the University of Chicago
>Booth School of Business specializing in industrial organization and
>finance. I completed IO, corporate finance, and asset pricing fields
>last year. Please see attached for my CV.
>
>
>I am interested in how information on platforms / networks impacts
>learning, search, and contracting. I spent this past summer at
>Microsoft Research with Greg Lewis examining how the personalization
>of news on MSN.com impacts who users support for president in polls
>on the site. I'm currently working with Greg to estimate a model of
>how consumers search for electronics online (using the search
>histories of IE11 users). I'm also currently working with Anna
>Costello at Michigan to understand how company credit scores impact
>the extension of trade credit using an experiment with the quality
>of the credit score provided by Credit2B. Finally, I'm separately
>estimating a model of how potential investors in equity crowdfunding
>learn about the quality of the company issuing securities through
>information displayed on the funding portal.
>
>
>Much of my current (and hopefully future) research fits broadly into
>digitization. Of course, the digitization of news created the
>potential for the delivery of personalized news and the concern that
>consumers would be confined to online echo chambers. Perhaps less
>known, equity crowdfunding is also a digital phenomenon not only in
>that the internet drastically reduced the cost of offering
>securities, but also in that the SEC rule mandates that equity
>crowdfunding raises be conducted only through online portals.
>
>
>Given the above, I'm interested in attending the digitization
>meeting in order to learn more about the frontier research and to
>network with others in the field.
