Join the College of Social Sciences and Public Policy for its Philosophy, Politics and Economics Lecture Series: “The Case for Adding Darwin to Behavioral Economics” on Thursday, Oct. 5, virtually on Zoom. Register for this event here: bit.ly/PPE-Frank.
In this talk, H. J. Louis Professor of Management and Professor of Economics at Cornell University, Robert Frank, Ph.D., argues that, while behavioral economists attack the rationality assumption underlying market fundamentalism, their critique would be more powerful if they integrated insights from Charles Darwin.
Dr. Frank is the Henrietta Johnson Louis Professor Emeritus of Management and Professor Emeritus of Economics at Cornell’s Johnson Graduate School of Management. He received an M.A. in Statistics and a Ph.D. in Economics from the University of California at Berkeley.
His “Economic View” column appeared monthly in The New York Times, and his papers have appeared in the American Economic Review, Econometrica, Journal of Political Economy, and other leading professional journals.
He has written fifteen books which have been translated into 23 languages. The Winner-Take-All Society, co-authored with Philip Cook, received a Critic’s Choice Award, was named a Notable Book of the Year by The New York Times, and was included in Business Week’s list of the ten best books of 1995.
