Former postdoctoral fellow

These days, I am a postdoc/lecturer at The Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania. I received my Ph.D. from the Hebrew University. After living for 14 years in Jerusalem, living in Philadelphia is a significant change!

I am interested in questions such as: When is it better to be a big fish in a small pond versus a small fish in a big pond? How does location affect performance in competitions? Do we take risks differently when expected to win versus lose a competitive interaction? What drives people to quit from a competitive endeavor?

I love the fact that my work involves asking questions! I am also excited about statistics and methods.
