Personal profile

Biography

Originally from the North Coast of NSW, I attended Richmond River High School in Lismore. I was awarded a National Undergraduate Scholarship to attend ANU, where I completed a degree in Pure Mathematics with First Class Honors, with Applied Mathematics and Statistics as minors. Upon graduation, I joined the Priorities Review Staff and then the Economic Division of the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet while working on a Masters Degree in Economics at the ANU. After completing my PhD at the University of Chicago, I obtained an Assistant Professor position at Princeton University. I moved to Rice University as an Associate Professor of Economics in 1986 and was awarded the George & Cynthia Mitchell Chair in Economics in 2007. I served as Chair of the Department of Economics from 2000-2005. I have also held visiting positions at Monash University, the University of Melbourne and the ANU. I also worked for the Centre of Policy Studies at Monash University and the Tasman Institute in Melbourne, and the NZ Business Roundtable.
