Areas of Research / Professional Expertise

Many of my recent papers are primarily concerned with the pricing process in both primary commodities and manufacturing. Most recently, I have been developing a heterodox theory of pricing combining elements of post-Keynesian, Schumpeterian and Sraffian price theory. This theory draws on previous empirical research dealing with (1) the impact of international competition on domestic pricing, (2) the international transmission of inflation and (3) the terms of trade between manufacturers and primary producers.
