Education and career

Bingham is currently a Senior Research Investigator at Imperial College London, and is a Visiting Professor at both the London School of Economics and the University of Liverpool. [1] [2] [3]

After undergraduate studies in mathematics at Trinity College, Oxford, where he achieved a first class honours degree, he was a research student at Churchill College, Cambridge, where he obtained his PhD in 1969 under the supervision of David George Kendall. In 1996 he also obtained a ScD from the University of Cambridge. [4]

He serves as Associate Editor of Expositiones Mathematicae and Obituaries Editor of the London Mathematical Society.

With C.M. Goldie and Jozef L. Teugels, Bingham wrote the book Regular Variation; [5] with Rüdiger Kiesel Risk-neutral Valuation: Pricing and Hedging of Financial Derivatives; [6] with J. M. Fry Regression. [7]

Financial economics is the branch of economics characterized by a "concentration on monetary activities", in which "money of one type or another is likely to appear on both sides of a trade". Its concern is thus the interrelation of financial variables, such as share prices, interest rates and exchange rates, as opposed to those concerning the real economy. It has two main areas of focus: asset pricing and corporate finance; the first being the perspective of providers of capital, i.e. investors, and the second of users of capital. It thus provides the theoretical underpinning for much of finance.

Sir John Richard Hicks was a British economist. He is considered one of the most important and influential economists of the twentieth century. The most familiar of his many contributions in the field of economics were his statement of consumer demand theory in microeconomics, and the IS–LM model (1937), which summarised a Keynesian view of macroeconomics. His book Value and Capital (1939) significantly extended general-equilibrium and value theory. The compensated demand function is named the Hicksian demand function in memory of him.

He was a close friend of Ludwig Wittgenstein and, as an undergraduate, translated Wittgenstein's Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus into English. He was also influential in persuading Wittgenstein to return to philosophy and Cambridge. Like Wittgenstein, he was a member of the Cambridge Apostles, the secret intellectual society, from 1921.

Kenneth George "Ken" Binmore, is an English mathematician, economist, and game theorist, a Professor Emeritus of Economics at University College London (UCL) and a Visiting Emeritus Professor of Economics at the University of Bristol. As a founder of modern economic theory of bargaining, he made important contributions to the foundations of game theory, experimental economics, evolutionary game theory and analytical philosophy. He took up economics after holding the Chair of Mathematics at the London School of Economics. The switch has put him at the forefront of developments in game theory. His other interests include political and moral philosophy, decision theory, and statistics. He has written over 100 scholarly papers and 14 books.
