Robin Hanson is a Associate Professor of Economics at George Mason University. They possess expertise in research, analysis, economics, statistics, data analysis and 19 more skills. Colleagues describe them as "Robin is a brilliant thinker on a wide variety of topics. He picks out important areas and does new fundamental work that clarifies the important issues. Robin doesn't let conventionality bind his choice of methods or area; if a choice has important consequences, Robin will pursue it even if the only way to make progress requires inventing new analysis tools. If clarity requires it, he will investigate ideas that his colleagues would ignore because the concepts aren't part of the accepted curriculum. In particular, Robin invented Prediction Markets, the area I work in now, and laid out the fundamental concepts in rigorous detail before anyone else understood the idea. He has been helpful to nearly everyone in this growing industry, and continues to contribute to its success." and "Robin's visionary work on futures markets may fundamentally alter the relationship of investors and society. It is not overstating their importance to employ the phrase paradigm shift."
