I am Nalin Bhatt. I am currently pursuing a MA in Computational Social Science (Econ Concentration) at The University of Chicago. I did my undergraduate degree in Economics with a double Minor in Data Analysis and Math from George Mason University(class of 2021).
I previously worked as an Economics Intern at Agoric under Dr. Bill Tulloh and before that I was a research assistant to Dr. Kevin McCabe at The Center for the Study of Neuroeconomics.
- Comparing Economic Efficiency between Bilateral Exchange and Automated Market Makers for P2P Energy Markets
- Translated MASON Java Model to Python from Monroe et. al 2023 "Evaluating Peer-to-Peer Electricity Markets across the U.S. Using an Agent-Based Modeling Approach"
- Replicated baseline results from a detailed model of solar electricity production and demand
- Compared the performance of agents when Automated Market Makers were used as a means of exchange
- Parallelized simulations over a computing cluster
I have contributed to the following projects
-
- Created an ABM model to represent Inter Protocol
- Created Actors to represent Vaults, Automated Market Maker , Parity Stability Module, and Liquidator
-
Decentralized Exchanges (ongoing)
- We are currently modelling the Uniswap v2 Exchange using mTree(python library for creating concurrent ABMs).
- Working paper Modeling Arbitrage with an Automated Market Maker
-
- We created an experiment in mTree to study the effects of online transaction escrow mechanism on trading behavior. (ongoing)
- The experiment is pending execution with human subjects
-
Voluntary Contribution Mechanism(VCM)
- Created an Agent Based Model to recreate VCM in mTree.
