George Evans is the John B. Hamacher Professor of Economics at the University of Oregon, affiliated with the Department of Economics in the College of Arts and Sciences. He holds a Ph.D. from the University of California, Berkeley (1980), with expertise in macroeconomics and econometrics.
His research centers on adaptive learning in macroeconomic models, exploring how expectations influence monetary and fiscal policy, economic stability, and sunspot equilibria. His work integrates theoretical modeling with experimental and behavioral insights, contributing significantly to the understanding of bounded rationality and learning dynamics in economic systems.
The recent articles highlight a consistent focus on expectations, learning, and macroeconomic policy. Themes include the stability of economic equilibria under learning, the role of bounded rationality in unemployment and market dynamics, and the nonlinear effects of fiscal policy. His research often employs advanced dynamic modeling and has been published in leading journals such as the American Economic Journal: Macroeconomics and Journal of Economic Theory.
Evans has received research funding, including from the NSF (Grant No. SES-1559209), and is a co-author of the influential book Learning and Expectations in Macroeconomics. He has delivered numerous invited lectures at international conferences and institutions, solidifying his role as a leading scholar in behavioral and learning-based macroeconomics.
He advises and collaborates extensively, particularly with Seppo Honkapohja, Bruce McGough, and William Branch. His work continues to shape the discourse on how agents form expectations and how such behavior affects macroeconomic outcomes.
