 | Stephen Morris |
Stephen Morris, the newly named Irving Fisher Professor of Economics, focuses his teaching and research on microeconomics and game theory.
A member of the Yale faculty since 1998, he has authored or co-authored numerous articles and papers for leading journals on such topics as the economic basis for political correctness, private value auctions, information economics, speculative investor behavior, inflation dynamics, fiscal stabilization and exchange rate instability, and risk management and currency crises, among other topics. He is also affiliated with Yale's Cowles Foundation for Research in Economics.
Morris, a native of England, earned his B.A. from Cambridge University and was an economist for Uganda's Ministry of Planning and Economic Development before earning his Ph.D. in economics from Yale in 1991. He taught at the University of Pennsylvania from 1991 until he joined the Yale faculty. In 2004, he was named Yale's Ford Foundation Professor of Economics.
Morris has been a visiting scholar at Makere University in Uganda, the University of Cambridge, the London School of Economics, Brown University, the University of Melbourne, the Universite de Paris I Pantheon-Sorbonne and the International Monetary Fund, among others. He will be a fellow at the Center for Advanced Studies in Behavioral Sciences in Palo Alto, California, during the 2005-2006 academic year.
Morris is an associate editor of Econometrica and the foreign editor of Review of Economic Studies. He serves as the founding editor of the BePress Journals of Theoretical Economics and is on the editorial boards of several other professional journals.
The Yale economist has won numerous grants and fellowships in support of his work, including four grants from the National Science Foundation and, most recently, a Guggenheim Fellowship. He was named a fellow of the Econometric Society in 2002 and of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences this year.
