Kevin Cooke

I hold a PhD in Economics from Boston University.  I’m currently an associate at Analysis Group in Dallas, TX.  In this role, I work on the valuation of intangible assets in complex corporate disputes.

My academic research interests include Applied Political Economy and Behavioral Decision Theory. 

My research is focused on two areas:
  1. Using a mix of theory and empirical methods, I study how individual leader preferences and social networks affect the probability of interstate war.
  2. I study how consumers' preferences can be influenced by past experiences, cognitive constraints, marketing strategies, and cultural factors. 

Prior to entering BU, I received Bachelor's degrees in Physics and Economics at Clemson University.
