Matthew McGinty serves as Professor of Economics at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, teaching intermediate microeconomics (ECON 301) and graduate-level microeconomic theory (ECON 701) across multiple course sections. His institutional affiliation reflects deep engagement with economic policy research within a major public research university.
His academic foundation includes:
- PhD from University of California, Santa Cruz
- MA from University of California, Santa Cruz
- BA from Michigan State University
McGinty's research program centers on Environmental Economics, employing Game Theory to model strategic interactions in International Environmental Agreements and Public Goods provision. His work in Industrial Organization examines leadership dynamics and ownership structures, with current projects specifically targeting "International Environmental Agreements" and "Conjectures in Public Goods Games". This research investigates how strategic behavior, diversity, and financing mechanisms influence cooperation among nations facing global environmental challenges.
His publication record (2007-2024) reveals evolving focus from foundational work on asymmetric nations to contemporary analyses of solar geoengineering threats and global public goods financing. The consistent application of game-theoretic frameworks across 8 major publications demonstrates methodological rigor while addressing urgent climate policy questions through journals like the Journal of Environmental Economics and Management and Environmental and Resource Economics.
No scientific awards are currently documented in his faculty profile.
While specific student advising details remain undisclosed, McGinty's active research agenda—including recent collaborations with David McEvoy, Todd L. Cherry, and Michael Finus—suggests ongoing mentorship of graduate researchers. His current projects indicate potential grant-supported work though specific funding sources aren't enumerated in the directory.
