My research interests cover a wide range of topics including corporate finance and credit market imperfections; firm innovation; volatility transmission and monetary policy; household indebtedness; migration. I am also interested in firms' political connections, institutional change, policy, and the performance of the Chinese economy.
I am keen to supervise graduate research relating to financial economics, climate finance, industrial organisation, the economics of innovation, and applied micro-econometrics.
