He is the co-author of many works in international trade, urban economics and economic geography. His recent publications focus on the competitiveness of firms in the global economy as well as the economic effects of immigration and offshoring on employment and wages. He is co-editor of Economica and associate editor of Regional Science and Urban Economics and Spatial Economic Analysis. Current Areas of Research: I am interested in all aspects of international competition with a special focus on manufacturing and services.
