Simon Grant

Honorary Professor Simon Grant is affiliated with the School of Economics at the University of Queensland. His research focuses on decision-making under uncertainty, including ambiguity, awareness, and strategic interactions. He collaborates extensively with scholars like John Quiggin, producing influential work on risk premiums, contractual disputes, and climate change policy. His contributions span economic theory, behavioral economics, and policy analysis.

Key research areas include the modeling of unawareness in economic decision-making, robust experimental frameworks for uncertainty, and the implications of equity risk for public policy. His work integrates game theory, experimental economics, and environmental policy, addressing topics such as bounded awareness and the Precautionary Principle in climate change contexts.

Grant’s recent publications explore ambiguity aversion in contracts, dynamic consistency in stochastic models, and the theoretical foundations of Savage games. His work is widely published in top journals like Games and Economic Behavior and Econometrica.

His contributions to economic theory include foundational studies on risk premiums, principal-agent models under ambiguity, and the interaction between equity risk and public investment. He has also engaged in applied policy analysis, particularly regarding the welfare effects of privatization and climate change mitigation strategies.
