About Robert Idel

Economist thriving for efficiency. During the day, I am the (Auction) Economics team at Tripadvisor. This job includes designing the hotel meta auction, evaluating the incremental value of our products, examining organizational inefficiencies, applying econometric models to market tests, and giving seminars on Game and Auction Theory. At night, I research the economics of electricity generation and try to contribute to the valuation and design of the power markets of the future.
