Scholar-generated biography
Wojciech Olszewski is a Professor of Economics at Northwestern University, specializing in game theory, decision theory, mechanism design, and testing probabilistic theories. His research explores strategic interactions in repeated games, such as belief-free equilibria and the folk theorem under imperfect monitoring. He also investigates mechanisms for large contests, revenue equivalence, and the manipulability of empirical tests. Olszewski's work addresses issues like strategic manipulation, non-differentiable approaches, and the robustness of equilibrium outcomes. His publications include studies on calibration, expert testing, and the design of nonmanipulable tests. His research contributes to understanding how individuals and institutions make decisions under uncertainty and how mechanisms can be structured to achieve desirable outcomes.
