Research methods

We study the phased introduction of London’s Ultra-Low Emission Zone (ULEZ), a tax on highly-polluting vehicles.

We examine the macroeconomic effects of artificial intelligence (AI) innovations in the United Kingdom over the period 1982–2022.

We introduce a novel survey tool that asks teachers to evaluate and comment on the presence of stereotypes in images drawn from school textbooks

We estimate the impact of health on employment for individuals close to retirement age and run the model separately by race and gender. 

We use our approach to show that marital sorting by education substantially changed between the 1950s and the 1970s cohorts. 

Many studies show UK women face greater post-childbirth earnings penalties than men, we find these penalties are greater when this child is a girl

We find treatment during ages 8-15 improves test scores at age 16, raises enrollment in education post-18 and leads to higher employment at ages 25-30

We study the impact of Chinese import competition in the 2000s on workers and their households in England and Wales.

We study how the diffusion of online dating platforms has shaped intermarriage patterns by race and education in the United States.

We propose a nonlinear framework using macro and micro data to study how aggregate and idiosyncratic shocks affect household income dynamics.

This paper presents a computationally efficient method for binary classification using Manski’s (1975,1985) maximum score model.

Different methods of eliciting the Marginal Propensity to Consume give very different distributions. 

This paper introduces a framework for selecting policies that maximize expected welfare under estimation uncertainty.

I prove that, in a simple but general framework, expected pass-through is unchanged by the presence of focal pricing constraints.

Limited research exists on life-course rural–urban residence and cognitive functions

We investigate the historical origins of female genital cutting (FGC) and how FGC is associated with the Red Sea route of the African slave trade.

Estimating intra-household sharing is crucial to understanding overall inequality. However, expenditure data is almost always at the household level.

We find that women have lower emissions propensities than men, and therefore greater female empowerment is associated with lower household emissions.

I show that the adoption and extent of focal pricing practices in an industry in general do not lower average pass-through of input cost changes.
