As from February 2008, I'm a professor of Economics at the National Graduate Institute for Policy Studies (GRIPS) or 政策研究大学院大学. My BA is in Mathematics and Economics from the University of Warwick. Both of my postgraduate degrees (MPhil and DPhil) are from the University of Oxford. I came to Japan from Royal Holloway, University at London where I was a professor from September 2005. I was at UEA from 1991-2005 and before that I was a lecturer at the University of Stirling. My major research interests centre on: Household decisions, Environmental Economics, Bounded Rationality & Public Policy and Public Economics. I use experiments as well as theory and field data. Bounded Rationality and Public Policy book from Springer. Now available from Amazon. How do individuals make choices in market and non-market settings? What are the implications of current research in experimental and behavioural economics for public economics? The normative issues seem to me most intractable, but there's work with Bob Sugden and a book that considers some of the issues. Positive issues are equally important: governments don't just tax and spend - they frame. | ||||||||||
