I am an Associate Professor in the Economics Department at City, University of London. My core research focus is on the economics of crime. I am also interested in other areas of applied micro — I currently have work in the areas of both family and environmental economics. Here is my CV and here is my office hour booking link for students.
Reading: really enjoyed Grace Blakeley's Vulture Capitalism, which made me realise I never got through Naomi Klein's Shock Doctorine. Similar vibes.
Riding: right now a Ribble one-two: r872 for the hills and hybrid AL for commuting. The hybrid is way more fun to ride than it looks.
Doing: trying to do enough gardening to justify my niwaki gear
Cooking: still loving Madhur Jaffrey
Listening to [music-wise]: the new Four Tet -- three
Listening to [podcast-wise]: can't get enough of Rick Rubin's tetragrammaton podcast right now. Super eclectic, quite long, totally amazing.
