Biographical Sketch

I came to Middlebury in the fall of 1995, soon after completing my PhD at Yale under the supervision of John Geanakoplos. I was born and raised in Montreal, Quebec, and have a BA (First Honours) from McGill University and an MA from Queen’s University at Kingston in Ontario. In 2008, I was appointed the Jermain Professor of Political Economy at Middlebury.

I teach courses in macroeconomics, poverty and inequality, labor economics and game theory, and do research in behavioral economics, radical political economy and the economics of philanthropy.

I am married to Carolyn Craven, a development economist and award-winning children's book author. We share our old Vermont house with our remarkable twin daughters, Emma Laurel and Catriona Mari, now fifteen, and two cats.
