ISS Faculty Fellow/Networks Team 2005-08  

Jeff Prince is an Assistant Professor of Economics in Applied Economics and Management (AEM). His research is in the area of applied industrial organization, focusing on issues of primary concern to high technology industries.

The diffusion of innovations is a central theme in much of his work. He has written on the geographical diffusion of the Internet, discrepancies between adoption and usage patterns for the Internet, and personal computer demand. He has also traced the origins of online/retail competition for personal computers, showing that key supply-side changes were the instigators. In a separate line of research, Jeff has studied intertemporal preference at the individual and group level. Using experiments, he has examined inter-temporal preference reversal, finding that it exists for public decision-making and differs in its prevalence across men and women.

Jeff's empirical research on diffusion and the demand for new products is most relevant to the networks theme project. He hopes that the integration of empirical methods in economics with state-of-the-art network analysis will provide a deeper understanding of how new innovations and ideas diffuse through the population .
