Foreign the first ten years following my Doctor of Philosophy in engineering mechanics, my research and publications were principally in the fields of my training. Starting in 1962,1 made some of the earliest computeranimated films, including A Pair of Paradoxes, and worked on the application of computer animation to science education films. Subsequently my research interests turned to economics.
Starting in 1968, with the help of Elizabeth Bailey, Gerald Faulhaber and others, I gradually built a group of about 25 outstanding researchers, concentrating on regulation and industrial organisation, finance, theoretical and applied econometrics, labour economics and the economics of information. My own research has focussed on regulation, public utility pricing and economic justice.
