Karl Dunz

Karl Dunz presented his paper, “Bargaining over the Distribution of Seats in French Regional Elections,” at the 69th Annual Midwest Political Science Association Conference, March 31 to April 3, in Chicago, Illinois and at the 61st Political Studies Association Annual Conference, April 19 to April 21, in London, UK.

Karl Dunz joined AUP in 2003 after spending several years teaching secondary mathematics and economics in a Louisiana distance education program. Previously, he taught in the economics departments of the State University of New York at Albany and Tulane University. He has taught all levels of microeconomics, public finance, and mathematical economics from the undergraduate through the Ph.D. level. At AUP he is teaching courses in microeconomics, international economics, game theory, econometrics, and mathematical methods in economics.

Karl Dunz received a Ph.D. in economics from the University of California, Berkeley after obtaining undergraduate degrees in economics and mathematics at Washington University in St. Louis. His fields in graduate school were mathematical economics and public finance, which are also the areas of his past research. The primary focus of that theoretical research was on incorporating land and/or houses into general equilibrium models, including those with local public goods. He has also recently written a paper, which is a direct result of his teaching at AUP, on export subsidies. Another of his current research projects is an examination of the bargaining between political parties that took place between rounds of the 2004 French regional elections.
