معرفی
Craig Webb is a Senior Lecturer in Economics at the University of Manchester. His research focuses on integrating empirical insights from behavioral economics into mathematical models of decision making under risk, uncertainty, and time. He specializes in revisiting classical microeconomic theory to accommodate deviations like loss aversion and ambiguity aversion while maintaining theoretical simplicity and applicability.

Research Interests: Craig’s work challenges the classical Subjective Expected Utility model by analyzing behavioral patterns (loss aversion, probabilistic risk attitudes, ambiguity aversion) and developing integrative mathematical frameworks. His recent contributions include preference foundations for discounted utility models and parametric approaches to risk assessment.

Advising: Currently co-supervising Jinrui Pan (PhD Economics) on axiomatic foundations of intertemporal decision making. His research output spans topics like mixture independence, stochastic dominance, and continuous quasi-hyperbolic discounting, with collaborations in behavioral economics and decision theory.
