Edward is an emeritus professor of economics at the University of Colorado, Boulder. His interests include behavior, choice, and well-being. He is also into ethics, notably how welfare economics (the ethic of many economists) contrasts with other ethics such as Kantian, virtue, and Buddhist.
His academic research models choice, WTP (willingness to pay), and WTA (willingness to accept), applying these models to health and environmental choices. His articles have been cited thousands of times.
For years, he taught a happiness course to students in economics, psychology, and philosophy.
Edward allocates his time between skis, bikes, and the study of behavior. Has he allocated correctly? Is he maximizing his well-being?
