Welcome to my website.
I am an Honorary Professor at the Australian National University (ANU), Director (Asia-Pacific) of the ANU Policy Experiments Lab, and Adjust Professor at the University of International Business and Economics (UIBE) in Beijing, China. My research in the field of applied econometrics focuses on developing and applying an innovative method for estimating generalised quantile treatment effects, with applications in both experimental and quasi-experimental settings. I have published empirical work in various domains of economics, including public economics, labour economics, health economics, development economics, and behavioural economics.
​
I have extensive experience in designing, implementing, and analysing Randomised Controlled Trials (RCTs) in collaboration with government agencies in Australia and internationally. I have led major projects on the behavioural aspects of tax compliance with tax authorities in Australia, Indonesia, and Papua New Guinea, and directed two projects with the Australian Capital Territory Government applying behavioural nudges to improve local government policy and administration.
​
My academic career includes previous appointments at 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 a Research Affiliate of MIT's Abdul Latif Jameel Poverty Action Lab (J-PAL).
