S. Weiland

I am a PhD candidate at the School of Business and Economics, Maastricht University.

I am an applied microeconomic theorist interested in strategic information acquisition and search in uncertain and interdependent environments. In particular, I study how decision-makers collect and interpret informational signals, how they explore unknown environments through experimentation and search, and how these individual choices shape system-level outcomes. Ultimately, I am to understand how we can design institutions when designers or policy makers face similar informational constraints as the individuals they govern.

I am supervised by Jaap Bos and Robin Cowan. I hold a Research Master’s (MSc) in Economic and Financial Research from Maastricht University and a Bachelor’s (BSc) in Management and Economics from Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz.
