Almost every area of economics is of interest to me and to compound the problem, I am particularly interested in interactions between economics and other social sciences. I am often struck by the analytical similarity between areas and also by the extent of interdependence. lieutenant is both a strength and a weakness of economics that it offers explanations largely without reference to the history or the culture of the people whose economic life is being explained.
lieutenant manages to do this by relying too much on traditional maximising theory. I am interested in bringing something else to bear in addition to conventional rationality. The trick is to make that ‘something’ analytically tractable.
At the moment, evolutionary economic theory seems to me to offer some hope. Without knowing exactly how to achieve it, I like the idea of economics having empirical content. I also think it should be of potential policy use.
In very small and indirect ways my work has reflected this stance.
