Walter Nicholson is the Ward H. Patton Professor of Economics at Amherst College where he enjoys introducing students to strange kinds of things economists have tried to model. By combining law and economics, he found the perfect match between interesting economic theory and important social questions that he could use to encourage students to speak accurately about economics. Nicholson received his Ph.D. in economics from MIT and has been published in numerous journals such as the Monthly Labor Review, The Journal of Economic Perspectives, and The Review of Economics and Statistics. Christopher Snyder specializes in the fields of industrial organization, microeconomic theory, and law and economics. He received his Ph.D. in Economics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1994 before joining the Economics Department at Dartmouth in 2005.He has also taught at George Washington University and has held visiting positions at M.I.T. and the University of Chicago.
