Welcome to my webpage!

​I am a Lecturer in Economics at the 
University of Southampton. I am also a co-founder and executive director of the Centre for Behavioural Experimental Action & Research (C-BEAR).
 
​My main research interests are in behavioural & experimental economics, public economics, politica
l economy, social choice theory, business ethics, and economic philosophy.​

I combine theoretical and experimental tools on three main research agendas:

  * People's preferences for redistribution, their attitudes towards taxation, and the behavioural effects of tax policy.
 
* Collective decision-making and the behavioural effects of different democratic, voting, and group deliberation processes.
​  
* People's attitudes towards freedom, equality of opportunity, and decision rights.

​I am also interested in the intersection of these topics and other subjects such as welfare measurement and behavioural change interventions like nudges and boosts.
