Oriol Carbonell-Nicolau is a Professor of Economics at Rutgers University whose research spans public economic theory and game theory. His current research develops axiomatic and robust approaches to measuring and comparing economic and social structures. One strand focuses on inequality, poverty, polarization, and taxation, including the effects of endogenous behavior, dynamic change, and population size. A second strand examines the measurement of hierarchical structures and the relationships among hierarchy, inequality, and concentration. His game-theoretic work examines equilibrium existence and refinements in games with general type and action spaces.
