Andreas Blume joined the Eller College of Management in 2012. Prior to joining Eller, he taught at the University of Iowa and the University of Pittsburgh. He earned his PhD in Economics from the University of California-San Diego in 1989. His current research focus is on using game theoretic and experimental methods to study strategic communication with imperfectly shared languages, through noisy channels, with costly messages and on organizational coordination in environments with limited or no communication.
