Welcome to my website. I am a Professor of Economics at the University of Manchester, an affiliate of the FAIR research institute in NHH, an IZA Research Fellow, an IFS Research Affiliate and RF Berlin and a Network Member at the Human Capital Economic Opportunities Working Group.
I am an Associate Editor at the European Economic Review and a member of the Royal Economic Society Committee.
My research area is in inequalities and human capital, often using big data combined with quasi-experimental methods.
My first area of research is families and children where my research asks how parents make labour supply, health and education choices and how these influence child human capital.
A second area of research is policy analysis. My research aims to understand the mental health and welfare consequences of policies such as Universal Credit and the Scottish Child Payment.
I received my PhD in 2010 from University College London where I spent time at the Centre for Economic Performance at the London School of Economics. I worked before this as a Research Assistant at the Centre for Market and Public Organisation, the University of Bristol, where I obtained a BSc and MSc in Economics. I moved in 2010 to the University of York, holding a British Academic Postdoctoral Fellowship and in 2025 started at the University of Manchester.
