Jean-Paul Carvalho

I was born in Sri Lanka and grew up in Australia where I completed my undergraduate work as well as a PhD in Finance before heading to the UK.

I am now in the second year of the MPhil/DPhil sequence in Economics at Oxford. My research attempts to illuminate patterns of social and economic behavior by incorporating concepts from sociology, anthropology and social psychology into evolutionary models of bounded rational choice. My current work models coordination and cultural choice in a multicultural society, using the tools of stochastic evolutionary game theory.

I am also keen over the coming years to get into economic and social history as well as some exacting philosophy, particularly relating to formal epistemology and the social structure of science. Otherwise, I enjoy jazz, art and anything involving a beach (British beaches excepted).
