Research Interests


Economic history, the economics of institutions, and the relationship between education and economic growth.

Biography


I joined the Faculty of Economics in 1979 and retired in 2010. During that time, my main areas of interest were public economics, firm finance and investment, and corporate governance. Towards the end of this period I became more interested in economic history and the economics of institutions. I was a Research Fellow of the Institute for Fiscal Studies from 1981 to 1986, and a Research Fellow of the Centre for Economic Policy Research from 1985 to 1996. I have been a Research Network Fellow of CESifo since 1994.
