Short Bio

I received my PhD in Economics in 2006 from the University of London under the supervision of Marco Mariotti. In 2007-08 I did a post-doc at the University of Rochester with John Duggan. Since 2005 I work as professor of microeconomics at the University of Manchester, with tenure since September 2008. My field of specialization is Political Economy.
