Here you can
find an analysis I completed on June 7 2008 of the implications of my
‘Bread and Peace’ model for the 2008 US presidential election outcome. My
model predicts a Republican 2-party vote share centered on 48.2% and it implies that the odds of the Democrats taking
the presidency are better than 3 to 1. Here is a
shorter, more casual essay “Why Are
the Democrats Likely to Win the 2008 US Presidential Election?”
published in translation to German as an op-ed piece in Welt
am Sonntag on August 24 2008; “Das
Brot-und-Frieden-Modell – Warum Obama gewinnt.”

Welcome to My Web Site I am a
career-long academic who retired from a chair as Professor of Economics at Göteborg University
in Sweden at lot earlier than usual, in February 2005, although I maintain an
affiliation with the university as a senior fellow at the CEFOS research
institute. I got
my PhD in 1971 just before I turned 27 years old from the University of Wisconsin, Madison. But I began
working as an Instructor at the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology in 1970, about a year before I finished my
doctoral thesis. I sorely needed the income. I left
MIT as an Associate Professor in 1978 to take a chair at Harvard University
as a Professor of Government. At both Harvard and MIT I specialized in
macro-political economy and applied multivariate statistics and econometrics. Beginning
in the second half of the 1980's I was a Professor of Economics in Europe -
mostly in Sweden. However, I frequently visited other European and American
universities, including the University of Paris-Sorbonne, the University of
Rome-La Sapienza, Central European University, Prague-Budapest, Aarhus
University, the University of Copenhagen, University of Trondheim (NTNU), the
University of California, Los Angeles, and the University of California,
Berkeley. I also was elected President of the European Public Choice Society
for 1998-99. You
can find the history of those and other professional activities in my
complete academic Curriculum Vitae
here. Many
of my scientific
publications on applied statistical analysis,
political economy, economic growth and development and other topics that
were published from the early 1970s up to the present can be downloaded in
pdf format here. |

At Göteborg University I taught political economy and macroeconomic theory to graduate students.
You will find some of my macroeconomic theory lectures here. Some of my earlier research on
the connections between politics and economics appears in two books published by Harvard
University Press in 1987. You can find those and other books I wrote before
and since in any respectable library, or even better (for my economic
wellbeing) you can buy them from Internet book sellers, such as Amazon.
