Hello there, and thanks for visiting my website. I am an Associate Professor of Economics and the Deputy Director of the Development Policy Centre at the Australian National University, where I head up the centre’s work on Pacific migration, economic integration, and labour mobility, including as Principal Investigator of the Pacific Labour Mobility Survey, currently in its second wave.
My research lies at the intersection of labour economics, international trade, and the environment, and has been published in top field journals in economics, development studies, and environmental science. You can find my publish papers, working papers, other writing, and even presentations under the research tab above.
From 2019—26 I was an organisational (Crawford-Devpol) and a thematic lead (Pacific migration) of the Australian Government’s Pacific Research Program. Before returning to the ANU for that role in 2019, I held academic appointments at Dartmouth College and Stanford University, and I worked in the Australian Government—mostly on budgets, school funding, and impact evaluation policy—development, banking and other odd jobs before that.
My last-updated CV is here or at the link above.
