Rob Moir is a professor of economics and social activist from Clifton Royal, New Brunswick, Canada. In 2008, he was a candidate for the New Democratic Party in the riding of Fundy Royal, and finished second with 23.7% of the vote. He currently serves on the University of New Brunswick Saint John Senate and is a member of several Senate committees. He is the President of the Atlantic Canada Economics Association, and a member of the American Economic Association, the Economic Science Association and the International Association for the Study of Common Property. == Research focus == Moir earned his Bachelor of Arts and Science (1986–90) from McMaster University before pursuing his Masters of Economics (1990–91) at Queen's University. For his doctoral studies in Economics, Moir returned to McMaster to examine Econometrics and Development, with a specialty in Experimental Economics. He earned his PhD in Economics in 1996. Moir's research focuses on human behaviour in environments where competition and cooperation clash, such as donations to charities, the funding of public goods, and our use of common-pool resources (e.g., water, air, forests, and the fisheries). In these situations, Moir contends that while self-interest leads to free riding, cooperation can enhance welfare. Behaviourally, he argues that people are less competitive than theory would predict, but not cooperative enough to be socially efficient. Moir's continued research concentrates upon policies and institutions which enhance cooperation and improve economic welfare. This work naturally extends to environmental issues, reduction of domestic and global poverty, and community economic development. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rob Moir」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
