My research interests and expertise spanning financial economics, energy economics, macro-finance, empirical asset pricing, and corporate finance. I am dedicated to investigating various aspects of financial economics, including firm investment, intangibles, and the incorporation of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) factors in investment decisions. With a strong quantitative background, I employ rigorous empirical analysis to examine market behavior, asset pricing dynamics, and the relationships between financial variables and real-world phenomena. My research findings have shed light on key issues such as the UK under-investment puzzle, climate risk, green finance, and industrial strategy, offering policy implications that can shape effective strategies and approaches.
