This page will direct you to the themes of my current research. Some themes have pages of their own, in particular:
Research on the economics of religion here.
Research on behavioral decision making here.
Research on gender, networks and marriage markets here.
In addition I am working with Guido Friebel on the medical science of ageing and its relationship to the organisational economics of selecting, motivating and retiring leaders. Our book Leaders Who Lose It: Dementia, Power and the Case for an Age Limit will be published by Polity Press in January 2027. More details soon.
I am working with Sergey Gavrilets on the evolution of zero-sum worldviews. We have a new paper published in PNAS. Sergey’s excellent book Social Influence and the Logic of Collective Action will be published by Princeton University Press in July 2026.
