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 Curriculum Vitae. Most 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. |

Here
you will find analyses of my ‘Bread and Peace’ model of voting applied to the
2008
US presidential election as well as links to previous analyses of the
model’s implications for the elections of 1992, 1996, 2000 and 2004. |

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. |
