  • Publications

Daniel is primarily an experimental and behavioral economist. Much (though not all) of his research is motivated by the search for more realistic empirical and theoretical foundations of economic decision-making, using experimental, but also analytical and computational, methods as required. Current research interests include bounded rationality, models of expectation formation and behavioural macroeconomics, behavioural and cognitive game theory, cooperation, trust and social preferences. They also include macroeconomic and microeconomic applications of theoretical ideas. He has papers published or forthcoming in a number of economics and non economics journals, among others American Economic Review, Economic Theory, Social Choice and Welfare, Economics Letters, Journal of Economic Behavior and Organization, Theory and Decision, International Journal of Industrial Organization, B.E. Journal of Macroeconomics (Advances), Journal of Economic Methodology, Behavioral and Brain Sciences, Physica A, Journal of Economic Psychology and the American Journal of Psychology. He won the 2009 B.E. Press Kenneth J. Arrow Senior Prize for his research on expectation formation.

He is a Research Associate in the Centre for Applied Macroeconomic Analysis (CAMA) at Australian National University and a member of the UEA Centre for Behavioural and Experimental Social Science (CBESS), of the ESRC Centre for Competition Policy (CCP), of the Department of Health Behaviour and Health Research Unit (BHRU), of the UTS Paul Woolley Centre for Capital Market Dysfunctionality and of the CASS Behavioural Finance Working Group.  He is a member of the new ESRC Peer Review College, of the Forum of Consumer Experts of the UK Office of Rail Regulation and of the Editorial Board for the Journal of Consumer Policy; he recently helped co-organize a conference on "Fairness, Trust and Emotions in Finance" (London, July 1-2, 2010). He is also a Coordinating Editor of Theory and Decision. He has received external funding from the Bank of England, the British Academy, the ESRC, the Nuffield Foundation, the OECD and the University of Technology Sydney.
