Biographical information

I am a PhD Candidate at the Department of Economic History of the London School of Economics and Political Science. My research interests lie in the fields of economic and financial history, money and banking, applied industrial organisation, and historical geographic information systems. My thesis looks at the performance of early microfinance institutions operating in the Netherlands during the financial crisis of the 1920s.

I completed a BSc in economics at the University of Bristol in 2005 and an MSc in economic history at the LSE in 2006. I was then employed as an economist at the Office of Fair Trading for a year until 2007.

I was a visiting student at Universitat Pompeu Fabra in Barcelona in the spring and summer of 2008 and at Universiteit Utrecht in the autumn and winter of 2009.

I run the LSE Cliometrics Group. I occasionally write comment pieces for The Guardian.
