SFU economist Arthur Robson, a Canada Research Chair in economic theory and evolution, has received a prestigious 12-month Guggenheim fellowship, awarded annually to those demonstrating “exceptional capacity for productive scholarship or exceptional creative ability in the arts.” Robson, one only five Canadian Guggenheim fellows this year, was recognized for his study The Biological Basis of Economic Behaviour, which examines the biological underpinnings of human economic behaviour and its implications for economic theory. Robson’s research, which bridges biology, anthropology and economics, has generated insights that are transforming the way scientists look at human economic behaviour. He was previously named a fellow of the Royal Society of Canada (2009) and the Econometric Society (2007) and also received a Killam Research Fellowship and, early in his career, a Fulbright Fellowship.
