Current Research Interests:

Empirical Macro and Labour Economics.

I am happy to discuss possible topics with potential new PhD students and areas I’d be particularly interested in topics that could tie in with my current work on the analysis of devolved national and devolved economic policies. In addition, I am interested in looking at the analysis of the compositional effects of fiscal policy.
