Short bio
Roberto Veneziani holds a Ph.D. in Economics from the London School of Economics and Political Sciences. He is Professor of Economics at the School of Economics and Finance, Queen Mary University of London. His research interests include topics of liberal principles of distributive justice, axiomatic exploitation theory, macrodynamic models of growth and distribution, egalitarian principles, distribution of resources between generations, sustainable development, and normative principles in economics. He is also interested in the history of economic thought and in political economy from a mathematical perspective.
He has published articles in a number of outlets in economics (including the Journal of Economic Theory, the Economic Journal, Theoretical Economics, the Journal of Economic Dynamics and Control, the Journal of Mathematical Economics, Social Choice and Welfare, Macroeconomic Dynamics, and the Cambridge Journal of Economics), political science (including the British Journal of Political Science, Political Studies, and the Journal of Theoretical Politics), and philosophy (including Analysis, Economics and Philosophy, the European Journal of Philosophy, and Philosophy of the Social Sciences). He has refereed for more than sixty different journals in economics, political science and philosophy.
He has been Managing Editor of the Journal of Economic Surveys for over a decade and has resigned -- together with most members of the editorial board -- in protest against the policies of the publisher, Wiley. [Read the collective statement here.]
