I am an applied micro-economist with interests in labour, health, family and housing economics. Thematically, my research focuses on inequality and socio-economic disadvantage. My research agenda applyies micro-econometric methods and exploits longitudinal and administrative data to respond to pressing economic and social issues. I aim to develop new evidence on the extent and dimensions of socioeconomic
inequality and identify the causal impact of changes in government policies and of shifts in the economic landscape on individual and household wellbeing and on inequality.
