Aislinn Bohren

Aislinn Bohren is an Associate Professor of Economics at the University of Pennsylvania. She studies various topics in microeconomics, with a focus on models of information and how individuals interact in dynamic settings. Her research explores questions related to learning under model misspecification, discrimination, information aggregation, moral hazard, and the econometrics of randomized experiments. Her work in the latter four areas is theoretical and includes applications to designing rating systems, information campaigns, and committees. She received her Ph.D. in Economics from the University of California San Diego and her B.S. from the University of Richmond. She is a research fellow at the Centre for Economic Policy Research and a member of the Human Capital and Economic Opportunity Global Working Group.

Aislinn Bohren is an Associate Professor of Economics at the University of Pennsylvania, specializing in Microeconomic Theory, Information, Learning, and Discrimination. Her research explores how individuals and institutions process information, learn from experience, and make decisions under cognitive constraints. She investigates the dynamics of discrimination, both systemic and statistical, and its implications for policy and market outcomes. Her work also examines the role of mental models, attention, and memory in shaping beliefs and behavior. By integrating experimental and observational methods, Bohren contributes to understanding the behavioral foundations of model misspecification and its impact on learning and strategic interactions.
