My main research on risk and uncertainty and its applications in economics and finance. In particular I hvae studied ambiguity (decisions where some or all of the relevant probabilities are unknown) and unawareness (decisions where some of the consequences may be unknown)  Applications include partnerships, asset pricing and contests. At present he is researching ambiguity in extensive form games. This will enable ambiguity to be applied to economic problems in which time plays an essential role. This research is complemented by relevant experimental studies.
In a more applied area I am studying the implications of uncertainty for Law and Economics. In the context of liability law he has shown that negligence is the liability rule that performs best when there are unknown probabilities or unknown consequences.
I have also studied decision-making within firms. This has included looking at how corporate governance influences behaviour in the product market. He is particularly interested in the factors which influence the way firms are organised e.g. the choice between for-profit firms, cooperatives and partnerships. This will be relevant for issues such as mergers and corporate governance.
