Research interests

My research interests are focused on labour economics, macroeconomic policy and political economy. A particular focus, working with Professor Chris Forde, has been on temporary agency working. Our research has focused on wage outcomes, the role of agencies in pay setting and the evolution of sector regulation. My current research is focused on two main areas: the relationship between technology and occupational change and the impact of regulation on agency workers' pay and outcomes.
