Loren Fryxell

Non-Stipendiary Research Fellow in Economics
Postdoctoral Researcher in Economics, Global Priorities Institute

I am a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of Oxford in the Department of Economics, Nuffield College, and the Global Priorities Institute. Prior to that, I did my Ph.D. in economics at Northwestern University. I am an economic theorist interested in normative economics. I am interested in what a social planner should care about in principle (what I call normative foundations), which should guide what a social planner should care about in practice (what I call normative heuristics), which should guide what a social planner should actually do in specific situations (which I call normative design).
