Simply put, my research program is an inquiry into the nature and causes of the wealth of nations. (Yes, really.) Specifically, I study the role of entrepreneurship in the economics of organizations, institutions, and growth.
My research agenda seeks to explain how entrepreneurship causes, engenders, and brings about the market process of prosperity-creation and economic development and how policy and regulations affect the role and outcomes of entrepreneurship. This includes analyzing and elaborating on the conditions for entrepreneurship (including specialization, uncertainty, and the impact of regulations), the implications thereof (economic growth, inequality), and how this relates to and affects the market system and economic growth.
I have published in highly regarded peer-reviewed journals in entrepreneurship, management, economics, and the history of economic thought. I have also published several books, including one that introduces how to understand the market process, one that explains the role of the entrepreneurial firm in the dynamic market process and as a component of economic growth, and one that applies entrepreneurial thinking to explaining the market process from the bottom up.
