I am a PhD candidate in International Relations at Nuffield College, Oxford University. My research interests are in international political economy, behavioural psychology, climate governance and firm-level behaviour. My PhD uses a theory of reputation to explain non-rational behaviour of agents (leaders, states and firms) in (1) the design of Preferential Trade Agreements, (2) why firms disclose carbon emissions and (3) why states and organisations delegate foreign aid to third parties. I use a mixture of causal inference techniques, modern statistical analysis and novel computational methods with large-n data and formal modelling.
I have experience working on education policy, welfare policies and the EU, trade policy, the WTO vaccine waiver negotiations, banking regulation, and international climate agreements.
