Research
My recent research has involved the application of economic theory to several social issues which are increasingly important: the use of illicit drugs, the environmental impacts of energy use, and strategic behaviour in markets with small numbers of sellers, using game theory and economics to model learning and adaptive behaviour in oligopolies. As well, I have included a short piece on my recent research accomplishments.
- A recent Curriculum Vitæ.
- My successful case for promotion to full professor discusses my research philosophy and publications, as well as my teaching and service achievements as of 2001. An update of September 11, 2001.
