Ed Hopkins Working Papers Publications CV

This is the home page for Ed Hopkins. I’m a professor in the School of Economics, University of Edinburgh.

My PhD is from the European University Institute, in Florence, Italy, where I returned as a Jean Monnet Fellow in 2001. I have also been a visitor at the University of Pittsburgh, UC Santa Barbara and Caltech. See my full CV here.

Research

I work in game theory and have two main interests. The first is the theory of learning in games. The second is applying game theory to social issues, with a particular focus on the importance of rank and status and their relation to inequality. I have also been involved in experiments to test some predictions of learning theory.

Conferences

Together with Ravi Kanbur, I organised a conference on “Relativity, Inequality and Public Policy” that was held in Edinburgh in June 2009. Earlier, I organised a workshop in behavioural economics held at Edinburgh June 2007 and one on social economics held at Edinburgh October 2004. Some information can be found here and here respectively.
