My research involves experimental and
behavioral economics. I am a member of several editorial
boards and I am a main editor at Games and Economic Behavior.
I began the Ph.D. program at UC Berkeley at the age of 41 (was
initially rejected there) and had no publications in print on my
50th birthday. So it may not be too late ...
I played poker semi-professionally, was an options trader, an
arbitrator, and a real-estate broker. I play softball, go
white-water rafting (I was a guide), and ski.
I have been married since 1991. Three children: Jacob
(1989), Emma (2004), and Benjamin (2004).
