Antony Davies (born 4 April 1965) is an American economist, speaker, and author.
Davies was born in Savannah, Georgia to Alan and Margaret Davies. He was raised in Montoursville, Pennsylvania and graduated from Bishop Neumann High School in Williamsport, Pennsylvania in 1983. Starting at an early age, he acted with the Community Theatre League. He graduated cum laude with a B.S. degree in Economics with minors in Mathematics and Philosophy from Saint Vincent College in 1987.
In 1994, he received his Ph.D. in Economics from the University at Albany in Albany, New York, where he studied under Kajal Lahiri. His Ph.D. thesis addressed analysis of multi-dimensional panel data in econometrics, and it received the Distinguished Dissertation Award.
While a college student, he co-founded Paragon Software with Mark E. Seremet. Founded as a business software firm, Paragon shifted its focus to gaming, and eventually became Take-Two Interactive. Davies's first faculty appointment was at West Virginia Wesleyan College, following which he taught econometrics at West Virginia University. During the dot-com era, he left academia to serve as Chief Financial Officer and Chief Analytics Officer at Parabon Computation, where he was co-inventor on a patent for generating supercomputing power from idle Internet-connected computers, and recipient of a NASA grant for developing statistical techniques for data mining using supercomputers. In 2001, he joined the faculty at Duquesne University where he helped design the economics major, and where he continues to be employed at present.
