My teaching and research are closely connected to simulations ("experiments") based on economic decisions, auctions, games, etc. This work is described in the Teaching and Research links found in the header. I am proud of the extensive research that I do with a wide range of US and international scholars, former doctoral students, and former UVA economics majors and Veconlab RAs; some of these talented people are shown in photos below and in the Collaborators menu link.

This 1993 Princeton Press cover deisgn for my book with Doug Davis was based on a graphic image that I made from a pre-Columbian design that had a supply and demand step structure.
Arthur Schram and I were the founding co-editors of the journal Experimental Economics, and this is a water color that I sent to Kluwer 25 years ago that was used to design the original journal cover.
