I am an Economist with 25 years experience at UC Berkeley, the University of Essex and the University of Exeter, and in other consulting and teaching roles. My work involved performing economic researchsharing research tools, and disseminating and promoting the impact of my research; as well as teaching (at undergraduate, postgraduate, and professional/executive levels), research supervision, and educational administration and entrepreneurship. I completed my Ph.D. under the supervision of Professor Emmanuel Saez at the University of California, Berkeley in 2006. I have published a range of peer-reviewed research and done consulting and impact work involving behavioral economics, lab, field (A/B testing) and natural experimentation, panel-data econometrics and data science, game theory and mechanism design, and the practical applications of these. I am an active supporter of open, robust, replicable and collaborative science, of the use of computer science and data science tools in Economics (e.g., R-Markdown/Bookdown dynamic documents), and of effective charitable giving.
