About
Daniel Friedman joined the faculty in 1985 after teaching at UCLA and UC Berkeley. He has broad research interests in applied economic theory, with recent emphasis on learning and evolution, laboratory experiments, and financial markets. The coauthor of three academic books, eleven NSF grants, and dozens of research articles, he currently is studying a) how motives beyond self-interest affect market performance, and b) market formats for electronic commerce.
His popular book, Morals and Markets: An Evolutionary Perspective on the Modern World, was published by Palgrave-MacMillan in October 2008.
His current administrative responsibilities include:
Director of the Business Management Economics program and Chair of Undergraduate Committee for the Economics Department;
Chair of the UCSC Institutional Review Board / Human Subjects Committee;
