Welcome to my website.
​​
I am a Professor of Economics at the Crawford School of Public Policy of the Australian National University (ANU), Director (Asia-Pacific) of the ANU Policy Experiments Lab and Deputy Director of the ANU Tax and Transfer Policy Institute. I am the architect of a new econometric method for estimating generalised quantile treatment effects. My research focuses on advancing and applying this method in both experimental and quasi-experimental settings. I have published in various domains of economics, including public economics, labour economics, health economics, development economics and behavioural economics.
​​​​
I have extensive experience designing, implementing and analysing Randomised Controlled Trials (RCTs) in collaboration with government departments in Australia and internationally. I have led, managed and contributed to large research projects examining behavioural aspects of tax compliance in collaboration with tax agencies in Australia, Indonesia and Papua New Guinea. I am currently leading a project funded by the Australian Research Council in partnership with the government of the Australian Capital Territory, exploring the use of nudges as a local government environmental policy instrument.
​
My academic background includes previous appointments at the ANU and the University of Queensland, as well as Visiting Fellowships at Princeton University and Peking University. I am a Research Fellow of RWI Leibniz Institute for Economic Research and IZA Institute of Labor Economics, and a Research Affiliate of MIT's Poverty Action Lab (J-PAL).​​
