Vita

Summary

I am an academic economist and political scientist based in Oxford University,  where I am an “Official Fellow” (in non-Oxford language, a Nuffield Official Fellow is an endowment-funded research professor) of Nuffield College which is one of the university’s constituent colleges. I conduct research and supervise graduate students.  Broadly, my specialist expertise lies in game theory, political economy, formal political science, and industrial organization; some of my recent research is also incorporating macroeconomic topics.
