John Chamberlin Ph.D. Stanford University.
Professor Chamberlin's primary research interests are in social choice theory (representation, voting systems for multi-candidate elections) and ethics and public policy. He is currently engaged in a project that examines proposals for reforming political redistricting, as well as a project that investigates the effects of including non-issue factors such as race, gender, etc. in spatial models of elections.

Robert Franzese Ph.D. Harvard University.
Professor Franzese's research interests center on the comparative and international political economy of developed democracies. He is currently studying the interaction between political institutions, mass behavior, and macroeconomic policies.

John Jackson Ph.D. Harvard University.
Professor Jackson's major interest is the creation, evolution, and growth of market economies, with a concentration on the dynamics of firm creation, growth, and death. He is modeling these processes to understand how a wide variety of economic, political, and sociological factors affect these dynamics. He also studies evolutionary models of elections with path dependent properties and the implication of those models for empirical analysis.
