James Atkins
Economics PhD Candidate, Northwestern University
I am a PhD candidate in Economics at Northwestern University.
I am interested in Industrial Organisation, especially in the area of digital markets and the use of computational methods in economics.
I am a graduate of Bocconi University, where I studied for a master's degree in Economic and Social Sciences. I gained my bachelor's degree, also in Economics, from the University of Cambridge. Between my bachelor's and master's, I worked at a London-based economic consultancy where I supported bidders and auctioneers in high-value auctions.
