Rate My Professor Evan Calford

His research lies at the intersection of experimental economics, behavioural economics, game theory, and decision theory, with a particular emphasis on ambiguity aversion and behavioral models of uncertainty in strategic settings. Key areas include the correspondence between continuous-time and discrete-time models, uncertainty over chance versus human actions, and methodologies for measuring preferences. Calford's scholarship has appeared in premier outlets such as Econometrica, Journal of Economic Theory, Experimental Economics, Journal of Economic Behavior and Organization, and American Economic Journal: Microeconomics. Selected publications are: "Continuity, Inertia, and Strategic Uncertainty: A Test of the Theory of Continuous Time Games" (Econometrica, 2017, with Ryan Oprea); "External and Internal Consistency of Choices Made in Convex Time Budgets" (Experimental Economics, 2017, with Anujit Chakraborty, Yoram Halevy, and Guidon Fenig); "Uncertainty Aversion in Game Theory: Experimental Evidence" (Journal of Economic Behavior and Organization, 2020); "Mixed Strategies and Preference for Randomization in Games with Ambiguity Averse Agents" (Journal of Economic Theory, 2021); "Ambiguity and Enforcement" (Experimental Economics, 2022, with Gregory DeAngelo); "Contingent Reasoning and Dynamic Public Goods Provisions" (American Economic Journal: Microeconomics, 2024, with Timothy N. Cason); "Higher-order Beliefs in a Sequential Social Dilemma" (Journal of Economic Behavior and Organization, 2025, with Anujit Chakraborty); and "The Value of and Demand for Diverse News Sources" (Games and Economic Behavior, 2025, with Anujit Chakraborty). Additionally, he oversees the ANU RSE experimental economics subject pool.
