Profile
Tony Bryant is an Associate Professor with the Department of Economics. Although primarily an economic theorist, he has wide and varied research interests.
Tony has worked for many years on General Equilibrium Theory. This area is complex and highly mathematical. He has published some outstanding papers in very good journals. These have been highly regarded as making a major contribution to understanding in his field.
A recent paper presented for the Cambridge Political Economy Seminar Series, entitled "Coherence, chaos and starvation: what does it take to make market economies work?" dealt with, amongst other things, non-Walrasian equilibrium models.
Tony's new book, General Equilibrium: Theory and Evidence, published by World Scientific Co, is due for release in October 2009.
