Current Research Interests

My area of interest is game theory and more generally microeconomic theory. I have been particularly interested in the theory of learning in games, and other aspects of behavioural economics. Recently I have been working on what is sometimes called “social economics”, with a particular focus on the importance of rank, status and esteem. I have also been involved in experiments to test some predictions of learning theory
