Bart Wilson (born 1969) is an experimental economist. He holds the Donald P.

Career

Before coming to Chapman University, Wilson worked at George Mason University. Prior to his academic career, Wilson worked as an economist in the Division of Economic Policy Analysis at the Federal Trade Commission.[2] He is also a guest lecturer at the Institute for Humane Studies.[3]

Views

Wilson argues that economists often force "ordinary human behavior to fit their models." For Wilson, this can confuse objective economic analysis.[4]

After research and experimentation Wilson and Vernon L. Smith conclude that "a history of unenforced property rights hinders our subjects' ability to develop the requisite personal social arrangements to support specialization and effectively exploit impersonal long-distance trade."[5]

Wilson argues that capacity constrained firms have a vested interest in not lowering their prices for new competitive markets.[6]

Awards

In 2017, Wilson was awarded with the Allais Memorial Prize in Behavioral Sciences during the Prague Conference on Behavioral Sciences.[7]
