Hello, this is my #introduction.

I’m a Lecturer (=AP) in Economics at U Swansea (🇬🇧; sadly I can't get the Welsh flag emoji to function), teaching #EconomicPolicy and #Microeconometrics.

I'm an empirical researcher doing #PoliticalEconomics and #PublicEconomics. I’m particularly interested in #immigration and #Covid (including #LongCovid) as well using #VotingAdviceApplication data in research.
