Cem Aydin

Cem is a PhD student in the Management Science and Operations Department at London Business School. His dissertation is on the impact of sampling error on outcome-based payment schemes. These payment schemes are usually designed as large competitions between thousands of hospitals. Cem builds a finite player model and extends it to an infinite player model before using reduced form parametric reg to empirically find support for modeling results. He then uses stats and structural estimation ideas to approximate hospitals’ cost function and use that to do counterfactual policy experiments on how hospitals would behave if the government used a different type of estimator.
