Economist at the University of Stirling. I am also an IZA Research Fellow.
​
My research partly focuses on Macroeconomics and Labour Economics, with particular interests in business cycles, wage determination, and inequality issues. I also work in the fields of Sports Economics and Prediction Markets, mostly using datasets from football (soccer) but also recently from cricket and tennis.

I am affiliated with two ongoing major ESRC/UKRI projects: Centre for Population Change & Wage and Employment Dynamics.

You can listen to me rambling on about sports economics and other things on a 2024 episode of the Beverage Report Podcast (LSE Department of Economics)
