Masoud Jabbari

I am a PhD Candidate in Economics at Rice University, currently on the 2024-25 academic job market. My primary field is Empirical Industrial Organization, with research interests in Digital Economics, Matching, and Quantitative Marketing. My job market paper develops a brand-influencer matching model focused on the Iranian Instagram influencer marketing landscape, analyzing the factors influencing brands' choices in social media campaigns. I estimate the welfare effects of different influencer-size categories based on brand preferences and campaign outcomes.
