WDA (Tony) Bryant is an active, established and internationally recognized researcher in the field of Microeconomics, especially General Equilibrium Theory and Computable General Equilibrium Modelling. General Equilibrium (GE) is a venerable part of economic analysis that addresses fundamental questions about the functioning of market economies. The theoretical depths of GE, along with the breadth of its applications, makes it the core of serious economic analysis and policy work. Tony’s book, General Equilibrium: Theory and Evidence (World Scientific, 2010) was described in a Zentralblatt MATH review as being: ‘… invaluable to any researcher interested in GE’. Tony’s recent and forthcoming books: Lectures in the Microeconomics of Choice and Lectures in Economy–Wide Microeconomics,), are similarly set to become classics in the field. Tony has also worked in Applied Macroeconomics, Cultural Economics, Monetary Economics, Environmental Economics and the Economics of Education. He has published in prestigious journals such as Applied Economics, Economics Letters, Public Finance/Finances Publiques, Review of Applied Economics and The Journal of Economic Education. He has edited Volumes in Environmental and Resource Economics and has contributed Chapters to numerous scholarly and research volumes. Tony has held Visiting Fellowships at the University of California (Berkeley), The University of Cambridge, The University of Sydney XLRI in Jamshedpur, India and Princeton University. He has won a number of Outstanding Teaching Awards and was shortlisted for the Prime Minister’s Teaching Award in 1996. He has a long-standing commitment to the education of students, whose development is vital for their own future and for that of the economies and societies in which they will live. Tony has held numerous consultancies over the years. One I would like to mention is the part I played in laying some of the theoretical foundations for the Biodiversity Credits Fund – currently administered by the NSW Department of Environment and Planning.
