Edward Cartwright is a Professor of Economics in the Department of Economics and Marketing and director of the Institute for Applied Economics and Social Value. He gained a BA in mathematics and economics at the University of Durham and an MSc and PhD in economics at the University of Warwick. He subsequently spent a year as a post-doctoral student at Université Paris 1, Panthéon-Sorbonne before working for 14 years in the School of Economics at the University of Kent. He joined De Montfort in 2018.

Edward’s main research interests are in behavioural economics, game theory and public economics. Much of his research analyses cooperation in small groups, exploring the role of social norms, leadership, framing and communication. Another strand of work looks at conformity, prejudice and discrimination. Further research interests include cyber-security and doping in sport.

Edward is working on a number of funded projects including a British Academy funded project on food resilience in Vietnam. He is also academic supervisor on a KTP to set up a Business Intelligence Unit at the East Midlands Chambers of Commerce.

Edward has extensive experience of teaching microeconomics, public economics and game theory. A particular passion of his is the use of interactive classroom experiments in teaching. He is author of a leading advanced textbook on ‘Behavioral Economics’ and also co-author with Robert Frank on the European edition of the popular ‘Microeconomics and Behaviour’ textbook.

Edward is associate editor at the Journal of Public Economic Theory, Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy and an Associate of the Economics Network.
