Francesc Dilmé´s website

Welcome to my webpage. I am Francesc Dilmé, an Associate Professor (with tenure) at the University of Bonn. I do research in Applied Microeconomic Theory, with a particular emphasis in dynamic models with asymmetric information and communication. See my CV for further details.


I have been awarded an ERC starting grant, "Information Transmission in Markets", which runs from 2021 to 2026.
