A Timeline of the Global Financial Crisis

As a record of what was happening when, I have put together a 74-page timeline of the Global Financial Crisis (from 1720 to 2016), which has been published in the Journal & Proceedings of the Royal Society of New South Wales: Analysis || 43-page Timeline. An updated version is available Here.

Note: Unlike my namesake, I am a firm believer in Darwinian evolution: the evidence is overwhelming.

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.
