Views
After my British Academy I began my career working as a nuclear engineer on the Nuclear Powered Airplane Project and then on the Nuclear Power Ram Jet Project. In this period, I worked on problems of shielding against radiation, safety, reliability and environmental effects. In this work, I became interested in problems of statistics and operations research, so I changed jobs and began work on a Doctor of Philosophy in statistics.
To take the course I wanted in econometrics, I had to take some graduate economics courses and I became so interested in economics that I co-majored it for my Doctor of Philosophy. I was drawn to problems of human capital and the challenges they hold for modelling and estimation. In this work I included questions of schooling, on-the-job training, selection, and, eventually, retirement.
In the study of retirement, I tackled my most difficult problems in using optimal control to model economic relationships. Since 1980 I have turned my attention more to questions of natural and agricultural resources. But my focus is still on problems of dynamics, especially in modelling systems
My most recent work has included models of the scallop fishery and the growth of cattle in the context of dynamic models of a firm.
