Malcolm Keswell

I have active research interests in the econometrics of impact evaluation, applied contract theory, consumer demand analysis, and behavioural game theory. My most recent impact evalution work concerns the estimation of economic impacts of land reforms undertaken in South Africa since the end of Apartheid. My work in behavioural game theory concerns measuring the salience of trust, altruism, and group differences in economic decision making. In the past, I have worked on the dynamics of inequality, the effects of ill-health on economic outcomes, and inequalities in the returns to schooling. I currently teach graduate courses in Microeconomics, Microeconometrics and Game Theory.
