Current areas of research include:
- CEP work focuses on using large firm-level datasets to investigate the causes of the so called 'productivity slowdown' during the 21st century. This includes looking at the effects of trade, financial constraints, and produce market competition
- PhD research sits at the intersection of IO and macroeconomics, specifically focusing on new trends in industry and firm dynamics
- Most recent work uses novel unstructured datasets (e.g. text, transaction data) to test theoretical predictions about firms' behaviour
