Welcome!

First, my office hours for next week will be Wednesday, 4 November, from 1600-1700.

Next, a moment of genius from XKCD (http://xkcd.com/):

Now, about me:

I am a Lecturer (British for Assistant Professor) at the London School of Economics and co-director for the finance program at the International Growth Centre.

My research agenda focuses on combining economic theory, field experiments, and more traditional empirical analysis to understand how economic development works and how it can work better. Most of my work is in less developed countries and centers on development finance.
