I am an applied micro-economist with research interests in labour economics, urban economics and local economic development. My recent work focuses on sorting and agglomeration economies within cities; labour market effects of public sector worker relocations (both in the UK and Germany); the local impact of urban regeneration policies; differences in consumption patterns across UK cities; staff turnover and hospital productivity in the NHS.

I am currently a Reader in Economics, Department of Economics, at  City St George's, University of London and a Visiting Fellow at LSE Health.
