Research Interests
Summary: Development macroeconomics; African economics; applied econometrics.
My research is principally concerned with the macroeconomics of low-income African economies and their response to external shocks, including aid. Much of this work falls under the auspices of an ESRC-funded project, run jointly with Paul Collier and David Vines, on the design of institutions, instruments and policy for the efficient macroeconomic management of risk and volatility in low- and middle-income developing countries.
