Kevin Reffett is a professor of economics in the W. P. Carey School of Business at Arizona State University. His research focuses on monotone methods in economic models and parameterized optimization problems, and includes work in comparative statics and lattice programming, large games, stochastic and dynamic games, minimal state space Markovian equilibrium in dynamic general equilibrium models, envelope theorems, fixed point theory in ordered spaces. He is an associate editor for the Journal of Public Economic Theory, Dynamic Games and Applications, and Journal of Dynamics and Games.

I am currently working on large games of incomplete information with complementarities, Markovian equilibrium in dynamic models with dynamically inconsistent preferences, comparing aggregates in games, constrained lattice programming, and methods for characterizing recursive equilibrium (minimal state space Markovian equilibrium) in various macroeconomic models with multiple equilibria and dynamic complementarities.
