Sophie Zhou

Dianzhuo Zhu

I obtained my Ph.D. at University of Paris-Dauphine, PSL. The three papers in my thesis aim at understanding ridesharing behavior using empirical data. I collaborated with a French ridesharing start-up and conducted two field experiments on monetary and non-monetary motivations of drivers for daily trips in rural areas. I have also been collecting long-distance, inter-city ridesharing data of BlaBlaCar, the largest ridesharing platform in Europe, via its API. My latest working paper analyzes the impact of the 2018 French railway strike on ridesharing. In general, I am interested in the digital economy, sharing economy platforms, behavioral and experimental economics, empirical IO, and transportation economics. I will start my post-doc at PSL to continue working on transportation user data and regulatory issues in September 2020. I will be on the job market next fall.
