I am a Lecturer in Economics at the University of Stirling.
Research Interests
My research interests span applied microeconomics and econometrics, particularly issues involving discrimination. I have published papers on intergenerational mobility and inequality, including empirical work estimating regional variation in the degree of meritocracy in the US.
My current research focuses on discriminatory policing practices and other aspects of the economics of crime. I am also working on a more theoretically motivated paper on criminal labour markets, and an empirical paper looking at gender and risk-taking in elite-level sailing.
I have a Masters in Landscape Architecture and enjoy applying economic theory and practice to issues surrounding place, community, and spatial interactions.
