Professor Schipper is a leading expert on the logic, game theory, and decision theory of unknown unknowns, or unawareness, and their applications to economics, finance, and business strategy. In finance, his research interests include the differences between trading on information versus trading on awareness; changes in bid-ask spreads when market participants discover events of which they were previously unaware; how the valuation of options accounts for unknown unknowns; and how AI affects the informativeness of prices.Gurubala Kotta, Graduate Student Assistant, Department of Economics
