GGAM comprises faculty members from departments across the campus, including its home, the Department of Mathematics. Below is a brief description of faculty research, links to personal and departmental web pages plus some "Related Courses" which can serve as a general study guideline for students interested in research with a particular faculty member. Students who want a more complete description of a faculty member's research interests are encouraged to contact them.

In economics, general equilibrium theory is the canonical model of the simultaneous determination of prices and quantities in all the markets defining an economy. The theory formalizes its ideas in precise mathematical terms. For example, the "preferences" of the agents of the economy are complete pre-orders over specific "consumption sets", and, under some assumptions, the set of equilibria defined by the preferences is a smooth manifold without boundary. General equilibrium theory exploits this mathematical structure to derive economic insight, which is precisely what I do in my research. For students with good background in analysis, topology, and measure theory, the second course I teach (ECN 203A presents the ideas and techniques of general equilibrium theory. | |
