Hogarth was a member of the Chicago faculty from 1979 to 2001 prior to which he held appointments at INSEAD in France and the London Business School. He earned his MBA from INSEAD (1968) and his Ph.D. from the University of Chicago (1972).

He was awarded the degree of “doctor honoris causa” by the University of Lausanne (2007). Hogarth has consulted with numerous organizations in Europe and the United States on issues of decision making and management education. His most recent book, Dance with Chance, co-authored with Spyros Makridakis and Anil Gaba, was published in 2009.
