Welcome to my webpage! I’m an economist interested in game theory and mechanism design applied to the design of blockchain protocols. I also research innovation, political economy, contracts and organizations, and development economics. I’m currently a senior research economist at CoW Protocol and a Research Associate at the University College London Centre for Blockchain Technologies (UCL CBT). You can contact me at andrea@cow.fi
Publication alert: our paper Commitment against front running attacks (with Vincent Danos) was accepted for publication at Management Science!
New paper alert: we just completed the first version of the paper “Arbitrageurs' profits, LVR, and sandwich attacks: batch trading as an AMM design response” (joint with Robin Fritsch). We show that if all trades are batched, it is possible to design an AMM that eliminates arbitrageurs’ profits (aka LVR) and sandwich attacks.
