Welcome!. I'm Di FENG (to save your time, you may simply call me D). I obtianed my Ph.D. in Economics from HEC Lausanne, where I was fortunate to be advised by my doktormutter, Prof. Bettina Klaus.

Currently, I am an Assistant Professor in the Finance Department at Dongbei University of Finance and Economics (DUFE). I am also a Junior Research Fellow at Research Institute for Economics and Business Administration, Kobe University. Prior to it, I

• was a Visiting Scholar at the Department of Informatics, Kyushu University in Fukuoka, working in the Multi-agent AI Lab led by Prof. Makoto Yokoo
• was a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Simons Laufer Mathematical Sciences Institute (SLMath, formerly MSRI) in Berkeley, under the mentorship of Prof. Zsuzsanna Jankó and Prof. Irene Lo.

• Topics that I have been looking at recently include: Market Design, Financial Economics, and Experimental Economics .
• Topics that I may be looking at in the future include: Education Policy, Public Economics, and Information Design .

• My coauthor Yun Liu will present our work at WINE 2024 (December, Edinburgh).
• My coauthor Jacob Coreno will go to the market this year! If you want to hire a theoriest, he is the person you should consider.
• I will be presenting at the following conferences/workshops.
