Kevin Bowman is currently an Assistant Professor in the Economics Department of Augsburg College in Minneapolis. He teaches Macroeconomics and in his two areas of specialization, Economic Development and International Economics. He earned his Ph.D. in Economics from the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) in December 2005.
Kevin conducts research in Economic Growth and Integral Studies. He has built growth models that are the first to include critical features of invention, innovation and diffusion of knowledge that help explain several puzzles in the relationship between human capital investment, economic growth, and wage inequality. He has flushed out additional dynamic drives in Ken Wilber's philosophical model of overall development helping to overcome what some have described as an ascending bias in his work. Kevin has also extended an influential economic growth model to include the quadrants and levels of Wilber’s AQAL model. This has resulted in the first mathematical model in integral theory and the first inclusion of Wilberian thought into an economic growth model. His papers have been published or are forthcoming in the peer-reviewed Economics of Innovation and New Technology, The Journal of Integral Theory and Practice, and The Journal of Asian Economics.
Kevin has worked as a staff economist with Economic Consulting Services, as an analyst for Ronald J. Krumm and Associates, and also as a community development planner in Cook County’s Department of Planning and Development.
For fun, Kevin writes songs and poems, some with integral themes.
