Welcome to my website.
I am a professor of economics and deputy head of the department of economics at the University of York, where I have worked since 2011. Before that I spent 11 very happy years at the University of Bristol following my PhD taken at the University of Exeter.
My research is predominantly in the broad field of quantitative political economics. I established and led the research cluster in political economy in the Department of Economics for several years. I am currently Managing Editor and Editor-In-Chief of the Bulletin of Economic Research.Â
Outside of academia I am a trustee for the South York Multi-Academy Trust and also get overly animated both as competitive dad and as FA level 1 coach for Wheldrake Junior Football Club. I also play the piano quite badly and play chess for the Eagle and Child.
