Economics · Durham University
Long-run development,
politics & culture.
I am an Associate Professor of Economics at Durham University Business School.
My research explores long-run comparative development, political economics, and cultural economics. I study how population diversity and ancestral legacies shape conflict, regional development, and political preferences.
My other work examines political violence, political propaganda, and machine politics. I received my Ph.D. in Economics from Brown University in 2012.
