Overview
I am an economist researching topics on household finance, choice and preferences. I am a Senior Lecturer in Economics at Exeter University Business School, and a research fellow at the Centre for Decision Research and Experimental Economics (CeDEx) and the Network for Integrated Behavioural Science (NIBS). Before joining Exeter, I was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of Nottingham School of Economics, where I also completed my PhD.
My research interests are in consumer decision making and lie at the intersection of economics and finance. My work is motivated by behavioural insights and policy questions and strives to understand how and why consumers make financial choices. I use a portfolio of methodological approaches to yield credible answers into causal mechanisms, including micro-econometrics, machine learning and experimental methods. In particular, I study how consumer preferences and behavioural biases affect choices and behaviour in field data, surveys and laboratory studies.
