Welcome to my academic homepage. My current research examines the role of human capital in economic development from the premise that schools provide both education and childcare jointly. This slight change of perspective introduces household labour supply to the set of factors that determine school attendance. As a consequence, I maintain a primary interest in human capital and a secondary interest in economic demography and household economics.

I primarily study the industrial revolution in Britain and maintain wider interests in the economic and social history of the eighteenth- and nineteenth-century world.
