(Economics has occasionally recognized, but usually ignore...)
Economics has occasionally recognized, but usually ignored, the common sense truth that human well-being depends on many things other than absolute consumption of wealth. Key among these is the status gained from prosperity relative to others, which makes prosperity both a private benefit and a social cost. After carefully surveying social psychology and anthropology as well as economics, Brekke and Howarth conclude that at least a third of prosperity's effect on well-being comes from status. Armed with this number, they show how status effects dramatically alter the policy prescriptions of standard economic models of taxation, growth and the environment.

My most innovative accomplishments include:
developing an econometric approach for estimation of the importance of risk in aggregate supply. (2) pioneering the application of proper quantitative tools for the analysis and prediction of debtservicing capacity by developing countries in international credit markets. (3) development of a flexible stochastic production function specification that can
allow treatment of both risk-reducing and risk-increasing inputs.
(4) development of a method for efficiently estimating multi-output production functions in agriculture. (5) development of the method for measuring welfare effects on producers and consumers from changes in uncertainty. (6) development of techniques for measuring welfare effects that impact on many maikets through equilibrium approaches.
(7) analytical analysis of the role of discretecontinuous technology adoption choices in agriculture and the impact of such choices on the distributional effects of agricultural policy. (8) various other analytical analyses of the role of uncertainty in microproduction models with emphasis on agricultural application. And (9) theoretical and empirical work that shows the role of exchange rates in agricultural trade.
