Welcome to my website! My name is William, and I am currently employed at Uber as an economist and data scientst. My professional focus involves leveraging economic principles and data-driven methods to optimise pricing strategies for the UberX Share product. Before moving into industry, I earned my PhD in Economics from KU Leuven (IO Group).

You can find my latest CV here. For additional information, please browse my website or feel free to contact me at wb [at] williamburton [dot] eu. I am always open to discussing research and potential collaborations.

In my job market paper (JMP), I analyse the welfare consequences of incorporating customer cancellation options into a dynamic pricing framework. If you are interested, you can find my JMP here.
