Personal statement
I am a Senior Lecturer聽in Economics at the University of 欧美高清. I have a broad spectrum of interests across applied economics, but especially in聽climate change聽economics, and in聽颈苍迟别谤苍补迟颈辞苍补濒听economics. I am particularly interested in where these two areas may intersect: namely in the potential for climate change to damage global economic integration.
The goal of my work is to study my work is long term policy issues and to provide relevant and impactful research. My experience to date has included engaging with policy makers and writing in the press, both about general economic issues and about my specific research.
Currently I teach undergraduate Macroeconomics, and masters level International Macroeconomics, and Climate Change economics and policy.
My Ph.D. in economics was awarded in July 2013 by the University of Edinburgh. Before returning to university to study economics, I was a qualified life insurance聽actuary. My previous degrees were in Mathematics and Physics.
