Biography:
I am a labour economist and have been a lecturer in the School of Economics at U.C.D. since 1995. Prior to this I completed my Ph.D at the University of Iowa under the supervision of John Kennan. I work primarily on imperfectly competitive models of the labour market, labour market policy and labour markets in developing countries. |
