Irwin Lipnowski serves as an Associate Professor in the Department of Economics within the Faculty of Arts at the University of Manitoba. Holding a PhD from the London School of Economics since 1976, he teaches core courses including Microeconomic Theory I, Game Theory, Public Expenditure Analysis, and Industrial Organization.
His educational background comprises:
- PhD, London School of Economics (1976)
- MA (Economics), University of Manitoba (1969)
- BA Honours (Economics), University of Manitoba (1968)
Lipnowski's research centers on law and economics and applied game theory, examining how economic principles inform legal frameworks and public policy. His work investigates collective punishment mechanisms, tort law design, and public goods provision through strategic interaction models, with notable applications in gambling regulation and environmental policy.
His publication timeline (1976-2018) reveals evolving focus from environmental input-output analysis to contemporary gambling policy, consistently applying game-theoretic approaches to legal and public economics questions. Early work addressed mixed economies and public goods, while later research specialized in institutional design and regulatory efficiency.
His recognition includes:
- Excellence in Teaching Award, Faculty of Arts, University of Manitoba (2019, 2000)
Professor Lipnowski actively mentors graduate students while contributing expertise through community engagement:
- Consultant for Resource Conservation Manitoba (2001)
- Expert witness for Public Interest Law Centre and Consumers Association of Canada (1996)
- Environmental Assessment Review Panel member for Manitoba Hydro's Conawapa Dam project (1991-92)
His collaborative approach extends beyond academia through multi-disciplinary panels and consulting roles, demonstrating applied research impact on regulatory frameworks and environmental policy without dedicated laboratory infrastructure.
