(/pɛŋ ɡwɑŋ/)
I'm a PhD candidate in Economics at the University of Manchester. Previously I completed MPhil at the University of Cambridge, and a BSc at the University of Surrey, both in Finance and Economics. Before Manchester, I worked as an antitrust and competition economist at Charles River Associates, and assistant economist in macro modelling at Oxford Economics.
My current research interests are in Quantitative Macro, Household Heterogeneity, Inequality, Behaviour Macro/Finance.
I expect to be on the 2026-2027 job market.
New Paper: "Belief Heterogeneity and Heuristics as Drivers of Wealth Inequality" draft coming soon.
