Colin Stewart is a Professor of Economics at the University of Toronto, specializing in Microeconomic Theory and Game Theory. His research explores dynamic decision-making under bounded rationality, focusing on how individuals process information and make choices in strategic environments. Key themes include rational inattention, learning dynamics, and the role of communication in coordination. Stewart's work addresses how agents balance informativeness and incentives, particularly in contexts involving forecasters, opinion leaders, and market distortions. His publications examine mechanisms for eliciting beliefs, testing forecast accuracy, and understanding behavioral responses to participation payments. His research contributes to understanding strategic interactions, information aggregation, and the design of mechanisms that align incentives with optimal outcomes.
