FEATURED AUTHOR
Paul Walker
My interests are in the areas of microeconomics, the history of economic thought - having worked on the history of game theory - the information/knowledge economy and, in particular, organisational economics - mainly the theory of the firm. Most recently I have worked on combining the history of thought with the theory of the firm by writing an introduction to the theory of the firm which places the development of the theory in its historical context.
Subjects: Economics, Finance, Business & Industry
