About

I am Senior Lecturer (Associate Professor) in Political Economy in the King's College London Department of Political Economy and a Visiting Senior Fellow at the International Inequalities Institute at the London School of Economics (LSE).

My research fields are comparative political economy, political behaviour, public policy, and macroeconomics.

My current areas of interest include: the political economy of taxation; inequality and redistribution; and the political economy of technological change.
