Sir John Hicks Professor of Economics
I study how inequality impacts the macro economy and macroeconomic policy.
I am a macroeconomist studying how the enormous heterogeneity observed at the micro level, and in particular the large disparities in income and wealth, impact the macro economy and macroeconomic policy.
My current work analyzes the macroeconomic and distributional consequences of monetary and fiscal policy as well as disruptions like the Covid-19 pandemic or the European energy crisis.
I hold the Sir John Hicks Chair in Economics at LSE. Here is a collection of some of Hicks’ most important and fundamental contributions to economics including his original writings.
