Research Interests focus on the intersection of economic theory, network analysis, and inequality dynamics. Key themes include wealth distribution's impact on macroeconomic stability, social identity in fiscal policy formation, and network-based approaches to growth and innovation.

Publication Trends show a consistent emphasis on network structures (2013-2024), inequality dynamics (2007-2021), and growth theory (1993-2024). His work combines general equilibrium modeling with modern network analysis techniques.

Supervision includes 14 PhD/MRes students (2010-2023) working on topics like innovation networks, productivity analysis, and fiscal policy in oil economies. Current supervisee: Lu Liu.
