Research areas
Jim has mainly been working on industrial economics, public economics and international economics. His main approach is to use simple theoretical/mathematical models to derive robust and meaningful policy recommendations. For example, regarding climate change, he argues that the best way to reach an international agreement on carbon reduction is a universal tax and an equal compensation for everyone in the world. He is also interested in basic income and believes that a modest level of unconditional income for everyone, replacing unemployment benefit and some mean-tested benefits, will benefit a poor majority.
