我要吃瓜 me

I am a Lecturer in Economics at the 我要吃瓜.

My research interests span applied microeconomics and econometrics, particularly issues involving discrimination.

My current research focuses on discriminatory policing practices and other aspects of the economics of crime. I am also working on an empirical paper estimating regional differences in the degree of meritocracy in the US, and one looking at gender and risk-taking in elite-level sailing.

I have a Masters in Landscape Architecture and enjoy applying economic theory and practice to issues surrounding place, community, and spatial interactions.

Current students can book a meeting with me at my booking page:

Economics of Crime, Economics of Discrimination, Inequality and Intergenerational Mobility, Agricultural Economics, Environmental Economics, Urban Economics, Economics of Sport
