Noah Myung Visiting Researcher at ZEW

Assistant Professor Noah Myung was a visiting researcher in the ZEW Junior Research Group “Competition and Innovation” in ZEW’s Department “Corporate Taxation and Public Finance” from 3 to 14 June 2019. He is the Director of the Center for Leadership Simulation and Gaming and an assistant professor at the University of Virginia’s Frank Batten School of Leadership and Public Policy in Charlottesville, USA. His research focuses on game theory, organizational economics, and financial economics.

His current work concentrates mainly on equilibrium selection in coordination games as well as information sharing between competitors. In addition, as a market design problem for internal labour markets, his U.S. Department of Defense research investigates on improving efficiencies in retention, compensation, and assignments. His centre recently debuted a participatory simulation on forced migration using system dynamics methodology and data from the Syrian refugee crisis.

During his visit, he worked with ZEW researcher Dr. Bernhard Ganglmair on topics relating to expectations of receiving feedback when competitors share valuable information.
