Paul Dolan
Behavioral scientist, professor and author
Like generations of his family before him, Paul Dolan was born in Hackney. Apart from a year training to be a chartered accountant, he has been an academic all his working life. He received his doctorate from the University of York in 1997 and became a full professor at the University of Sheffield in 2000. Dolan won a Philip Leverhulme Prize for Economics in 2002 for his contribution to health economics. After meeting psychologist Danny Kahneman and economist Richard Layard at a conference in Milan in 2000, he worked with the former at Princeton in 2004–2005 and, after a stint at Imperial College from 2006–2010, joined the latter at the London School of Economics and Political Science in 2010.
