https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8140-0115I work at Queen's University Belfast, where I am a Senior Lecturer in Economics at Queen's Management School and a Research Associate at the university's Centre for Economic History.
I am an economic historian with research interests in banking crises, corporate governance, innovation policy, cultural economics, and macroeconomic policymaking. My research mostly addresses issues in the business and financial history of the Netherlands, and the economic and social history of Ireland.
I lead a teaching and learning project which aims to re-insert the study of economic history into the economics curriculum. My book, An Economist's Guide to Economic History (co-edited with Matthias Blum), is available in paperback or eBook.
