Asymmetric Information

Asymmetric Information Editor. A career in IT & business, sidetracked into economics, incl. rail, social services, digital tech & Covid. 10yrs @ NZ Productivity Commission. Now consulting at Sawtooth Economics, in the mountains, or volunteering

I'm an organisational economist based in Christchurch. My PhD is from the University of Canterbury. My research is mainly to do with the theory of the firm and the history of economic thought and the intersection of these two areas.

I am a macroeconomist with both theoretical and empirical interests. My research activity is split between macroeconomic topics and the interaction between climate, environment, and society.

After 30 years of international vagrancy, I repatriated to the Treasury and ProdComm. Some teaching, research, volunteerining, fishing, playing squash and writing the 2BRED column leaves little spare time in this semi-retirement.

Agricultural Economist with an interest in trade modelling, food prices and bio-security.

An economist with a few decades of public sector experience, mostly in fiscal and monetary policy. Trying to learn more applied microeconomics.

A career in teaching, academia and public service. After 10+ years at the Productivity Commission, I have developed an unexpected interest in urban economics, infrastructure pricing and policy at Te Waihanga, the Infrastructure Commission.

Ex-Treasury, NZPC, MBIE, BusinessNZ. (I am running out of places to be ex-of)
