Daniel F. Stone

Affiliation: Economics
Associate Professor of Economics, Chair of the Economics Department

I've been teaching in the Economics department at Bowdoin since 2012 and prior to that I was assistant professor at Oregon State University from 2008-2012. My teaching and research interests are: microeconomics, behavioral economics, game theory, information and uncertainty, political media and polarization, and socially responsible capitalism.

I've written a (non-technical) book (Amazon link) on the behavioral economics of affective polarization. There's an open-access e-version here. Interviews etc on the book here, here, here, here, and here, and TEDX talk (!) here. My recommendations for related books on polarization in the US here. My current favorite anti-polarization websites/organizations are: https://www.readtangle.com/  and https://www.facesofx.org/.

Students: if you ever need a 4th for spikeball, let me know!
