Research
I am committed to advancing research and policy, having secured over 2.6 million GBP in research funding from institutions such as the ESRC, AHRC, EPSRC, UK Department of Health, Leverhulme Trust, Nuffield Foundation and the Bank of England. According to RePEc, I am among the top 5% of economists of all time worldwide and among the top 50 with Australian affiliation in academic impact, and I rank in the top 0.4% for downloads on SSRN.
