Bio
Professor Theodore Turocy is a Professor of Economics at the University of East Anglia, working on the Turing's Foundational AI programme. Ted holds a BS in Economics and in Computer Science from the California Institute of Technology, and a PhD in Managerial Economics and Decision Science from Northwestern University. Ted joined UEA in 2010 and is the Director of the Laboratory for Economic and Decision Research, and previously Director of the Centre for Behavioural and Experimental Social Science. Since 2002, Ted has led on the development of Gambit: Software Tools for Game Theory, the pre-eminent software package for computation in finite games.
Research interests
Professor Turocy’s research spans the “economics of decision processes”, using a mix of theoretical, experimental, and computational methods. He has worked extensively on the practical implementation of methods for computing Nash equilibria, and especially in the application of quantal response equilibrium both to equilibrium computation and to econometric estimation of strategic behaviour in games. Much of his work centres on the analysis of decision-making in market mechanisms, auctions, and contest games. He is also interested in developing software tools to support the reproducibility and replicability of results obtained using numerical and computational methods.
