My updated Ph.D. thesis, resulting from doctoral research at the University of Delaware Alfred Lerner School of Business and Economics and School of Human Development and Professional Education, Essays on the Economics of Learning and Distribution Under Animus and Oligopoly Conditions, develops novel economic theory and empirical tools based on foundational insights to understand persistent inequality, epistemic injustice, and policy design under uncertainty. I contribute dynamic models of labor market discrimination, educational segregation, and oligopolistic firm behavior that incorporate Bayesian learning, Knightian uncertainty, and endogenous belief formation. 

Using both formal proofs and causal inference methods, I show how women, disabled, Black, Latino, and LGBTQ+ demographic subgroups experience systemically embedded demand side labor market disparities even at high levels of achievement, and how equity considerate policies can reverse these dynamics and redress biophysical harms. This work advances public economics, economic theories of unequal distribution and exchange, and the ethical foundations of policy design, offering rigorous frameworks for building just and cooperative economies. 

The two-part book manuscript develops a theory of credible planning and cooperative social choice under uncertainty, resolving long-standing dilemmas in economic theory, econometrics, and policy design. By embedding behavioral agents with caloric, cognitive, and informational constraints into Sraffian and von Neumann accumulation systems, while incorporating Bayesian learning, Knightian ambiguity, and endogenous preference formation, the book presents an empirically disciplined theoretical skeleton and empirical toolkit for studying cooperation, market instability, basic-needs provision, and long-run inequality. The result is a model of decision-making and economic planning that is both rigorously and thoughtfully identified and empirically based, providing new insight into welfare measurement, policy evaluation, and the stability of democratic institutions.
