I am part-time Professor of Economics and Statistics at
the University of York in the
UK and Professore Ordinario at LUISS in Italy.
I was Editor of the Economic Journal from 1986 to 1996.
My main research interests are in the economics of
decision making under risk and uncertainty (both static and dynamic) and
in Experimental Economics. With regard to the latter I was the co-founder (wuth Graham Loomes) of
EXEC (Centre for Experimental
Economics) at the University of York. At LUISS we have just established CESARE (Centro di Economia Sperimentale A Roma Est)
with the generous support of Deloitte.
From 2001 to 2004 I was European
Vice-President of the Economic
Science Association (the association of experimental
economists) - which is a great honour to me and to the Universities with which I have been associated. I am a Fellow
of the European Economic Association. In 2006 I organised (with
Daniela Di Cagno
and others from LUISS) the
Twelth FUR Conference at LUISS.
In 2007 we organised the
ESA World Meeting 2007 at LUISS in Rome.
In 2008 we organised IAREP 2008.
In 2004 to 2006 I was on
research leave from the University of York
- having been awarded by the ESRC a 28 month Research Fellowship.
This project has its own Home Page.
For the academic year 2006/2007 I was again on Research Leave from the University of York,
financed by a grant on pensions with the Department for Work and Pensions of the
UK Government. This project is now completed and the report is available.
I have also been coordinator of a MIUR-financed research project on
dynamic decision making,
which has a partial website.
I am now the coordinator of a further MIUR-financed research project on
decision making under ambiguity, which will soon have a website.
I am now even more part-time at York but will be teaching
Graduate Experimental Economics and
Undergraduate Experimental Economics this academic year.
At LUISS I teach Microeconomics
.
I use my text Intermediate Microeconomics, a description of which can be found
here,
which is published in English by
McGraw-Hill
and is
published
in Italian by Aracne.
You might find interesting a page highlighting the problems of working within
the Italian Examination system.
