I'm Professor of Economics and Dean of Commerce at the University of Cape Town. My research focuses on applied game theory, foundations of microeconomics, the experimental economics and neuroeconomics of addiction, formal relationships among the sciences (philosophy of science), and infrastructure, trade and industry policy in Africa.

Recent books include ECONOMIC THEORY AND COGNITIVE SCIENCE: MICROEXPLANATION (MIT Press 2005); MIDBRAIN MUTINY: THE PICOECONOMICS AND NEUROECONOMICS OF DISORDERED GAMBLING (with Carla Sharp, Rudy Vuchinich and David Spurrett, MIT Press 2008); EVERY THING MUST GO (with James Ladyman, Oxford University Press 2007). I'm co-editor with Harold Kincaid of THE OXFORD HANDBOOK OF PHILOSOPHY OF ECONOMICS (2009).

I'm also a Research Fellow with the Center for the Economic Analysis of Risk at Georgia State University.
