Robert Sugden is Professor of Economics at the University of East Anglia. His research uses a combination of theoretical, experimental and philosophical methods to investigate issues in behavioural economics, normative economics, choice under uncertainty, the foundations of decision and game theory, the methodology of economics, and the evolution of social conventions. He is the author or co-author of The Principles of Practical Cost-benefit Analysis (1978, with Alan Williams), The Economics of Rights, Co-operation and Welfare (1986 and 2004) and Experimental Economics: Rethinking the Rules (2010, with five co-authors). His current work focuses on the problem of reconciling behavioural and normative economics, and is synthesised in his recent book The Community of Advantage (Oxford University Press, 2018).
