Matthew Cheung is a fifth-year Ph.D. student in the Levin Lab and the Program for Applied and Computational Mathematics at Princeton University. Before starting graduate school, he graduated from the University of California, Los Angeles with a B.S. in Applied Mathematics and a Specialization in Computing. Matthew is interested in the interplay between human behavior/opinions and the dynamics of wealth in socioeconomic systems. This involves incorporating heterogeneity and aspects of human behavior, such as pro-social preferences and discounting, into models in ecological economics. His current research explores a dynastic model for intergenerational resource transfers under uncertain conditions, and the implications for inequality. Future work will look to integrate the dynamics of information and opinions regarding redistribution and pro-sociality, and the feedback from the dynamics of wealth
