Crises and the Dispersion of INFO

Here you can find the research summary of George-Marios Angeletos, the economist of the month.
His work is concentrated in the role of information during crises and the multiplicity of equilibria in global games where complementarities exist between the agents. His research is even more interesting now that we are in the middle of a crisis and the central problem seems to be information asymmetries. I am inclined to believe that Marios will be the recipient of the John Bates Clark Medal in one of the following years. I have enormous respect for him.
