Excited to announce that a new study, co-authored with my fantastic colleagues from Macquarie University, @_paulcrosby & Rohan Best, has just been published!
We find that the average flyer is willing to pay modest amounts for lower emission flights in general. Additionally, we find that there are key differences amongst different consumer groups, with ethical consumption behaviour driving preferences for green flights.
So excited to be part of this Special Issue honouring Professor David Throsby. We are looking forward to receiving your papers and celebrating David’s incredible career. 🎭 @Macquarie_Uni@Springernomics
Hot off the press! Our paper is now published in JAMA Pediatrics (IF: 24.7). The study is led by Dr Evelyn Lee. We show that increased support and timely access to services could mitigate the higher readmission risk and cost associated with substance use during pregnancy.
Children who were exposed to substance use during pregnancy incurred more hospital costs than children who were not exposed up to 20 years of age, but this was reduced in association with any contact with out-of-home care. ja.ma/4cU0JMC
Can the housing affordability crisis be solved by allowing more private sector construction? Some say no, because new builds usually target the higher income housing market. But maybe there are flow-on effects to lower income segments. New e61 research investigates. 1/8
This is a fascinating read. Ever wondered how Taylor Swift was able to become so popular? Seems like she might have a fair bit in common with the ruthless music industry she so vehemently decrys.
Great reporting @alice_fulwood!
The genius of Taylor Inc is the ability to pursue ruthless business tactics, while at the same time being careful not to undermine Swift’s wholesome image.
Her team borrows strategies not from Wall Street—but from politics, argues @alice_fulwoodecon.st/3WnMZCN 👇
New paper! 🎸My study on consumer preferences for concert tickets is out now in the Journal of Cultural Economics. Based on one of my PhD chapters, this is also my first solo authored academic publication!

I examine how common ticket characteristics influence consumer choice, and identify strategies through which musicians can improve their ticket pricing strategies.
