I am a Postdoctoral Research Associate at Durham University and an economist working at the intersection of labour economics, macroeconomics, and applied microeconometrics. My research studies how human capital, wealth constraints, technological change, and institutions shape economic opportunities and inequality.
My current work combines quantitative economic modelling with UK microdata, text-based methods, and historical and non-standard data sources. Recent projects examine graduate skill supply and occupational sorting, financial constraints in firms, multiculturalism and house prices, and the medium-run consequences of pandemic risk.
Recent update: The time sensitivity of aspirational interventions: evidence from a role-modeling RCT is forthcoming in PLOS ONE.
