Alex Dickson

Alex Dickson joined Strathclyde in September 2008 as John Anderson Research Lecturer in Economics. Prior to this he held a lectureship at Keele University (2007-2008) and a Postdoctoral Research Fellowship at the University of Manchester (2005-2007). Alex's PhD, "On strategic Marshallian analysis: Shapley and Shubik meet Marshall and Cournot" was awarded June 2006 from Keele University.Alex's research interests are in Microeconomic theory and Game theory. His recent work has been dedicated to developing an aggregative approach to strategic market games. This has produced an interesting 'strategic Marshallian cross' approach to the study of equilibria in bilateral oligopolies. His current research is concerned with exploiting this approach to derive several results in bilateral oligopoly, and to extend the analysis to more general settings. In addition, he is interested in applying the aggregative approach to studying games in more general contexts. Alex also has interests in behavioral economics and industrial organization.
