Hello! I am a Post-Doc in the Centre for the Study of African Economies, Department of Economics, University of Oxford and a Stipendiary Lecturer in Economics at St Catherine's College, Oxford. I recently completed my DPhil (PhD) within the Department of Economics (July 2009). Before coming to Oxford for the MPhil in 2004 I worked as a Research Officer on a project investigating 'Sourcing Strategies for Manufacturing in China', at the School of Management, University of Bath; in the course of this project I spent one year based in Shanghai interviewing managers in MNC subsidiaries. My first degree was in Modern Chinese Studies (Freiburg, Beijing, Leeds) and I also hold a Masters degree in Development Economics from the University of East Anglia. My CV can be found here.

My data pages: Development Economists with an empirical focus should check out my Data for Economics & Development website where I provide links to over 100 (primarily macro) datasets. Follow me on twitter for updates. My Applied Empirics for Economics & Development website aims to provide useful links for everything related to STATA, including the step-by-step guide to transforming, coding and merging 'raw' data.

The remainder of my webpages: I provide some insights into my own research interests and what little tangible research output I have produced this far down the track. This includes an introductory reader for panel time series econometrics.
I also link to some of my China-related work with Andrew Millington (University of Bath) and Barry Wilkinson (University of Exeter). Students in the Department of Economics and the Department of International Development can find links to the lectures, classes and tutorials I'm giving or have given in the past, and the lists of email alerts, econ podcasts and econ-related websites is primarily intended for this audience. Some links to photos for friends and family.
