The investigator proposes to pursue two lines of research on which he has done some work. The first line of research is to investigate the conditions under which the incentive effects of private information are ameliorated by large numbers of economic agents and when markets may perform well in these circumstances. The second line of research is to develop and analyze methods in which there is an interrelationship between economic decisions and social aspects of an environment. In such models we may expect rational economic agents to care about their relative position in society. This concern may result in qualitatively different predictions from those generated from models ignoring these social aspects of the environment. This project is important because it would improve our understanding concerning how differing conventions for making non-market decisions interact with market decisions.

研究人员建议进行两条研究路线， 做了一些工作。 研究的第一线是调查 私人信息的激励效应的条件 大量的经济行为主体和市场可能 在这种情况下表现良好。 第二条研究路线是 开发和分析方法，其中存在相互关系 经济决策和环境的社会方面之间的联系。 在 我们可以期望理性的经济主体关心这些模型， 在社会中的相对地位。 这种担心可能会导致质量 与忽略这些因素的模型产生的预测不同 环境的社会方面。 这个项目很重要，因为 它将增进我们对不同公约 使非市场决策与市场决策相互作用。
