The website contains information about my research.

My research focuses on empirical macroeconomic modelling and forecasting of macroeconomic variables for policy analysis. My research is driven by my experience working at an Australian policy institution and ongoing interactions with policymakers since joining academia. I am particularly interested in novel methods for estimating the dynamic causal effects of policy shocks such as monetary policy on the economy. I am also interested in techniques for extracting important information from large datasets which can improve our understanding of the main drivers of economic activity or with predicting the future direction of economic activity.
