Welcome to ThinkMacro. I am Dmitry Epstein, an Assistant Professor in the Department of Communication and the Federmann School of Public Policy and Government at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Under the broad umbrella of information, technology, policy, and society I study Internet and information technology governance along the dimensions of regulation, design, and use. Here you can find more information about my current research, publications, students, and some randomly updated musings.
