Consumption, Financial Wealth and Housing Wealth over the Long Run. Our research gives economic policymakers a better understanding of the linkage between housing and financial market fluctuations and economic stability in Australia. In this, it focuses on how long run social trends have helped or hindered macroeconomic stability. It promotes a deeper knowledge of consumption patterns across different age groups, with a focus on financial security of retirees. Finally, we make a basic contrib ....Consumption, Financial Wealth and Housing Wealth over the Long Run. Our research gives economic policymakers a better understanding of the linkage between housing and financial market fluctuations and economic stability in Australia. In this, it focuses on how long run social trends have helped or hindered macroeconomic stability. It promotes a deeper knowledge of consumption patterns across different age groups, with a focus on financial security of retirees. Finally, we make a basic contribution to basic research by developing new techniques for examining panel datasets.Read moreRead less
The econometrics of gravity models of trade: a re-assessment. This research will lead a much greater understanding of the empirical determinants of trade flows between countries. This project will apply cutting-edge data econometric techniques to the popular Gravity model of international trade flows. These more appropriate techniques will shed more light on some previous puzzling findings, such that regional trade agreements had little, or no, affect on trade.

Summary
Nonlinear econometric panel models with fixed effects. This project aims to develop effective quantitative methods tailored to policy questions in public health and international trade. Many nonlinear panel models are essential to answer policy-relevant research questions, but cannot estimate key objects of interest, while default procedures for inference are often misleading, making magnitudes of identified effects impossible to quantify. This project will develop methods to overcome these limi ....Nonlinear econometric panel models with fixed effects. This project aims to develop effective quantitative methods tailored to policy questions in public health and international trade. Many nonlinear panel models are essential to answer policy-relevant research questions, but cannot estimate key objects of interest, while default procedures for inference are often misleading, making magnitudes of identified effects impossible to quantify. This project will develop methods to overcome these limitations for many econometric models, and apply them to important models in health economics and international trade. Such improvements are expected to reduce risk in public decision-making, resulting in better and more effective policies.Read moreRead less
