Alumna Audrey Hu has received a Veni grant by the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research. NWO awarded Audrey a grant of € 250.000 to support her research project on ‘High-risk Auctions’. Auctioning state-owned assets to private investors frequently involve high stakes and high risk. When competing bidders have heterogeneous valuations and risk attitudes, traditional auctions are inefficient. Her project aims to find out efficient and revenue-maximizing auction policies in these situations.
Audrey Hu is an alumna of TI and received her PhD from the University of Amsterdam in 2010. Currently she is affiliated with the Center for Research in Experimental Economics and Political Decision Making (CREED).
