About

I’m an Associate Professor in Economics at Leeds University Business School. My research crosses disciplinary boundaries and draws on macroeconomics, finance, and political economy. I’m interested in the interaction between finance and the real economy; especially sources of cyclical dynamics, instability, and rising inequality.

I’ve published research on the distributional effects of energy-price driven inflation; the role of gross capital flows in financial instability; the interaction of business and financial cycles; the role of flexible exchange rates in emerging market business cycles; the effects of financialisation on income distribution; as well as the role of house price cycles in national growth models across countries. My work has been published in journals such as the Cambridge Journal of Economics, Energy Economics, Journal of International Money and Finance, Oxford Bulletin of Economics and Statistics, Review of International Political Economy, and Structural Change and Economic Dynamics.

I’m currently co-leading work packages of two funded research projects: one on The Political Economy of Growth Models in an Age of Stagnation (funded by the Leverhulme Trust Grant) and one on Enhancing MDB Capacity Through Local Currency Lending (funded by the MDB Challenge Fund).
