research interests

My research interests rest in the interface between economics and other social disciplines. They are centred on the influence which a broader scope of social and ethical considerations may have on economic analysis and on policy recommendations. Through the study of both current issues and the history of economic analysis, I am trying to explore further the relationship between individuals, society and its institutions. I am hoping that a better understanding of these relationship would affect both the conception of the economic problem and the means by which we measure economic performance.

Specific Areas:

Agency problems

Economics Methodology

Ethics-Economics relationship
