About my research
My research in Philosophy of Economics and History of Economic Thought focuses on elucidating the assumptions about human nature, freedom, and justice implicit in standard, mathematical microeconomic models. I have worked on welfare economics, the efficiency of markets, ideology in economic theory, endogenous preferences and methodological individualism.
