Yero Samuel Ndiaye

Welcome!

I am a PhD candidate in Economics at the University of Cologne and the Max Planck Institute for Behavioral Economics. I am affiliated with ECONtribute (Area: Market Design and Behavior), the cluster of excellence of the Universities of Bonn and Cologne, and the Center for Social and Economic Behavior (C-SEB).

My research investigates how information and institutional design shape decisions in markets. I particularly focus on health economics, auctions, and political economy. I combine laboratory and field experiments, microeconomic theory, and modern causal inference methods.

I will be on the job market in 2026/27.

I have also been competing in kickboxing for more than a decade. I am the current World and European Champion, ranked number one in the world, and have won eight World Cups. I serve as the athlete spokesman for German kickboxers. I also served on the executive committee of Athleten Deutschland, and the athlete committee of the German Olympic Sports Confederation (DOSB) from 2023 to 2025.
