I have not worked in any settled field of specialisation but have made contributions in many areas of economic theory, including welfare economics, the macroeconomic analysis of open economies, monetary theory, growth theory and technical progress. My most widely recognised contribution has been the development of the theory of induced bias in technical progress. More recently, my interest has shifted away from mainstream economics towards business finance, especially the theory of options, warrants and convertibles.
I have made a number of contributions to the debate leading to the development of inflation accounting in the United Kingdom.
