معرفی
Gabriel Lozada is an Associate Professor in the Department of Economics at the University of Utah, within the College of Social and Behavioral Science. His research bridges economics, law, and ecological theory, with a strong emphasis on antitrust policy and the thermodynamic foundations of economic processes.
His research interests include Ecological Economics, Antitrust and Law and Economics, Thermodynamics in Economic Models, and Critiques of Neoclassical Assumptions. He explores how concepts like entropy and energy constrain long-term economic growth and challenges the use of efficiency as a normative benchmark in legal and economic decision-making.
The most recent articles show a clear trend toward critical legal and economic scholarship, particularly in antitrust, where he questions the validity of efficiency defenses in merger cases and critiques the empirical foundations of industrial organization. Earlier works focus on the integration of thermodynamics into economic modeling, especially through the lens of Nicholas Georgescu-Roegen’s ecological economics.
