>Dear Denis,
>
>I recently got a notification about this
>tutorial, and I am really interested in attending.
>
>My name is Mariia Titova, I am a PhD student,
>second year, in Economics at the University of
>California, San Diego and can be reached at
><mailto:mtitova_at_ucsd.edu>mtitova_at_ucsd.edu.
>
>My primary research interest lies in the area of
>Behavioral Economics, with the minors in IO and
>Microeconomic Theory. I am currently in my
>second year of the graduate program, taking
>field courses and trying to get as much insight
>in different areas of Economics as I can. I
>spent my undergraduate in Russia at the Higher
>School of Economics, where I majored in Applied
>Mathematics and Computer science and was an
>exchange student at Tilburg university, where I
>took various courses in Experimental Economics and Finance.
>
>I currently have a working paper with Alexei
>Parakhonyak titled "Consumer Search, Shopping
>Malls and Platform Competition" that we recently
>submitted to IJIO. This is a theoretical paper
>that deals with optimal consumer search rule in
>the presence of platforms, with analysis of
>equilibrium prices, profits, and incentives of
>firms to join the platform vs. operating on
>their own. In my next project, I am planning to
>work on adding a behavioral aspect to consumers
>in standard IO settings in order to see whether
>any testable implications arise.
>
>The reason why I am applying to participate in
>this tutorial is that I would be really excited
>to start working in the field of Digitization
>which inherits from both IO and Behavioral. From
>what I can judge, a lot of attention in this
>field is drawn towards online platforms, which I
>believe is the future of IO. Moreover, I know
>some examples of platform data, such as eBay,
>are used to explain a wide variety of
>behavioral anomalies. Hence, I believe I would
>benefit immensely from talking to professors and
>graduate students at the frontier of this field.
>
>All the best,
>Mariia
