Professor Rabee Tourky

Rabee Tourky is the Trevor Swan Distinguished Professor of Economics, and is the Director of the Research School of Economics, a merger of the foundational departments of Economics at the ANU. For many years he has worked on understanding general price equilibrium theory when there are many commodities but with missing insurance contracts. More recently he has been working on finite games dubbed imitation games and computational economics. Among other things, he is studying statistical/epistemic foundations of Bayesian games as well as novel piecewise linear techniques. Rabee has held professorial positions at The University of Melbourne, Purdue University, and University of Queensland. He is a strong advocate of academic freedom, free education, and a welfare state underpinned by a thriving unencumbered market economy. Regarding university governance, a truly great university is governed by the self organisation of its great academics eschewing the industry of career managerialism that characterises non-­‐ exceptional universities.
