Bio
I am a Professor of Economics at the University of Oxford and Professorial Fellow at Nuffield College. I am also Visiting Professor at the Centre for Economic Performance at the London School of Economics and Fellow of the British Academy. My research interests are in labour economics. I have worked extensively on the performance of labour markets with job search frictions, with applications to unemployment and wage dynamics, welfare policy, local spillovers, and the measurement of monopsony power. I also work on the causes of gender inequalities in labour market outcomes, with emphasis on the role of employment selection mechanisms, structural transformation, household interactions and gender norms.
In 2026 I was awarded an Advanced ERC Grant for the study of gender specialisation in the future of work.
I am a Co-Editor of the American Economic Review.
