Biography

Prof. Feinberg's research examines how people make choices in uncertain environments.  His work focuses on using statistical models to explain complex decision patterns, particularly involving sequential choices among related items (e.g., brands in the same category), dyads (e.g., people choosing one another in online dating), and dynamic trajectories.  Methodologically, his work combines methods from Bayesian econometrics, Discrete choice, mathematical psychology, and dynamic programming. He is formerly Departmental Editor at Production and Operations Management and Co-Editor of Marketing Science, as presently holds a variety of other editorial roles. He was President of the INFORMS Society for Marketing Science and, with Tom Kinnear and Jim Taylor, is author of Modern Marketing Research: Concepts, Methods, and Cases.
