Bio

 

I am a Professor of Economics at UNSW Business School and the University of Warwick.


I am a core member of ERINN (Economic Research on Identity, Norms, and Narratives) and a research affiliate of CEPR (the Centre for Economic Policy Research).


I received my PhD from Harvard in 2009, where I was a Presidential Scholar.


My main areas of research are sociology and economics, organizational economics, and applied microeconomic theory.  My work focuses, in particular, on the importance of social interaction.
