Current Research and Interests

Ned Augenblick’s research focuses on the theoretical and empirical analysis of online markets. His dissertation examined the actions of auctioneers and consumers in the market for penny auctions, a relatively new Internet auction format in which the auctioneer makes an average revenue of 150% the value of the good.  More recently, he has been studying the Amazon Mechanical Turk, an online job market for very small and repetitive jobs.  Ned hopes to continue to use new technology to observe and understand online interactions in different markets.
