“Magrathea
is a myth, a fairy story, it’s what parents tell their
kids about at night if they want them to grow up to become economists…”
Douglas Adams, “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy”, p 88, Pan Books,
Macmillan,
Since September 2006, I am a senior
lecturer in the Economics department at Royal Holloway, University of
London. I am also an associate at the Geary Institute
at the University College Dublin and at Centre for the Economics of Education at the London School of
Economics and research fellow at the Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA).
My
research interest is in Labour economics and more precisely the Economics of
Education but I am also interested in family Economics.
