I am a Research Officer at the Economic and Social Research Institute, Dublin and an Adjunct Assistant Professor at Trinity College Dublin. I hold a PhD in Economics from University of Nottingham.

I am an applied microeconomist and my research interests include:

• Housing and Urban Economics

• Household Finance, Applied Banking and Financial Stability

• International Migration

I have published work on topics including: housing affordability; housing subsidy supports; the determinants of mortgage arrears; homeownership, credit constraints and their long-term consequences; microsimulation; the measurement of trends in the private rental sector (PRS); and the impact of rent controls.

Since 2021 I have been the Editor of the quarterly RTB/ESRI Rent Index reports.
