Welcome to My Web Site

 

I am a career-long academic who retired from a chair as Professor of Economics at Göteborg University in Sweden at lot earlier than usual, in February 2005, although I maintain an affiliation with the university as a senior fellow at the CEFOS research institute.

 I got my PhD in 1971 just before I turned 27 years old from the University of Wisconsin, Madison. But I began working as an Instructor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1970, about a year before I finished my doctoral thesis. I sorely needed the income.

I left MIT as an Associate Professor in 1978 to take a chair at Harvard University as a Professor of Government. At both Harvard and MIT I specialized in macro-political economy and applied multivariate statistics and econometrics.

Beginning in the second half of the 1980's I was a Professor of Economics in Europe - mostly in Sweden. However, I frequently visited other European and American universities, including the University of Paris-Sorbonne, the University of Rome-La Sapienza, Central European University, Prague-Budapest, Aarhus University, the University of Copenhagen, University of Trondheim (NTNU), the University of California, Los Angeles, and the University of California, Berkeley.  I also was elected President of the European Public Choice Society for 1998-99.

You can find the history of those and other professional activities in my complete academic Curriculum Vitae, available here.

Many of my scientific publications on applied statistical analysis, political economy, economic growth and development and other topics that were published from the early 1970s up to the present can be downloaded in pdf format here.

 At Göteborg University I taught political economy and macroeconomic theory to graduate students. You will find some of my macroeconomic theory lectures here.

  

Some of my earlier research on the connections between politics and economics appears in two books published by Harvard University Press in 1987. You can find those and other books I wrote before and since in any respectable library, or even better (for my economic wellbeing) you can buy them from Internet book sellers, such as Amazon.
