Writing

I write articles about various areas of economic policy and regulation, mostly for the Institute for Research in Economic and Fiscal Issues (IREF). Many of my contributions have also been featured on other public policy platforms such as the European Policy Information Centre and INSM Ökonomenblog, or as book chapters and policy briefs of the Liberal Institute (1979).
