Background:
Julian Jamison comes to the program from the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University, where he was an assistant professor of decision sciences. He earned his PhD in economics from MIT, specializing in game theory, and in particular intertemporal uncertainty. Julian’s early work in health economics focused on mathematical models for measurement of the burden of disease, notably the inclusion of events around the time of birth and the appropriate discounting of future events. As a Health & Society Scholar, he is pursuing the relationship between health and utility/welfare, where the latter may be interpreted as subjective; as predicted; according to revealed preference; or via recent neuroscientific imaging techniques. He is also studying risky decision-making in charged contexts, such as adolescents under stress; alcohol-impaired young adults; or doctors completing a night shift. Of particular interest in all of this work are observed differences across individuals and population subgroups. In addition, Julian has served as a consultant for NIMH, JPL, Lockheed-Martin, and Bates White, LLC.
