John
Treble is Professor of Economics in the School of Business and Economics
at Swansea University. He also holds visiting positions at the Université Panthéon-Assas (Paris II), and the University of Arizona.
Following undergraduate study at Swansea, Professor Treble worked for
two years for Barclays Bank, and having acquired a taste for the real
world, decided to study it further. After acquiring an MSc from Essex,
and PhD from Northwestern, he became a lecturer and then senior lecturer at the University
of Hull, worked briefly for the British Household Panel Study, and was
appointed to a Chair in Economics at Bangor. He also taught at Northwestern (1984/5) and Indiana University at Bloomington (1978/9). He
has held visiting research posts at Aarhus, Munich, Canberra, the
Tinbergen Institute (Amsterdam) and the Fondation des Treilles, and in
1990 was the guest of the All-California Economic History Tour.
His work has been funded from time to time by the ESRC, the Leverhulme
Trust, the British Council, the British Academy, various government
departments in France and Britain, and private firms.
His publications are mostly in the field of Labour Economics. He
attempts to undertake empirical work which is clearly linked to
theoretical models. His work has appeared in British Journal of
Industrial Relations, Econometrica, Economic History Review, Economic
Journal, Economica, Journal of Labor Economics, Labour Economics and
many other journals.
Current projects include empirical studies of dynamic incentives (using
both natural and experimental data) and a model of sports leagues. A
book with co-author Tim Barmby under the working title "Economics of
Worker Absenteeism" is in preparation for publication by CUP.
He enjoys flying very fast radio-controlled sailplanes, and playing the
piano or a self-built harpsichord. (But not at the same time.) He has
climbed every one of the 100 highest peaks
in Wales, and rafted the
Grand Canyon.
