Microeconomic theorist Dr. Peter Doe teaches game theory, Principles of Macroeconomics, and introductory and intermediate courses in microeconomics. He is passionate about helping students think critically and practically, and he is excited to show how economics can serve as a powerful tool for understanding and solving real-world problems. 

While Peter enjoys playing strategy board games, 鈥済ame theory鈥� as the term is used in economics means something quite different: the study of how rational decision-makers interact and how their choices affect the outcomes of negotiations or competition. His research employing algorithms 鈥� the 鈥渆ngineering side鈥� of economics 鈥� applies game theory to the context of economic markets, which has the potential for practical applications in education, resource allocation and public policy.

His current projects include a paper on school choice and another that proposes a behavioral model for understanding aspects of 鈥淭he Match鈥� 鈥� the national system in which medical school graduates are matched with the hospital in which they will do their medical residency. In a third ongoing project, he is fine-tuning an algorithm that can be applied to other 鈥渕atches鈥� as well, such as college admissions or labor markets.   

He joined the Hope faculty in 2025.
