Research Interests:

My research spans a variety of areas in applied economics. Ongoing projects cover: labour economics, economic demography and health economics. I am also interested in the design, collection and analysis of survey data, particularly with regard to the measurement of household living standards. I am a member of the Understanding Society: the UK Household Longitudinal Study team responsible for income research (https://www.understandingsociety.ac.uk/).
