My research areas are monetary economics and transitional economics. I work on topics related to competitiveness, free banking, and neoliberalism.

I have published almost 40 peer-reviewed articles in academic journals such as The Journal of Business Ethics, Eastern European Economics, Critical Review, Simulation and Gaming, The Review of Political Economy, The Review of Austrian Economics, and the Journal of Entrepreneurship and Public Policy.

Sample publications:

• 2023 “Competitive authoritarianism, informational authoritarianism, and the development of dictatorship: a case study of Belarus”, Public Choice, Forthcoming (viewable PDF)
• 2016 “The Microfoundations of Austrian Economics through a New Classical Theoretical Lens” (with Paul Dragos Aligica), Review of Political Economy, Vol. 28, No. 1, pp.113-133
• 2014 “In Defence of ‘Demand’ Deposits: Contractual Solutions to the Barnett and Block, and Bagus and Howden Debate”, Journal of Business Ethics, Vol. 124, No. 2, pp. 351-364
• 2011 “”Search” vs “browse”: A theory of error grounded in radical (not rational) ignorance” (with Jeffrey Friedman), Critical Review, Vol. 23, Issue 1-2, pp.73-104
• 2008 “The Spread of the Flat Tax in Eastern Europe: A Comparative Study” (with Paul Dragos Aligica), Eastern European Economics, Vol. 46 No. 3 pp. 55-74

Apparently in 1988 Harvard Med School decided to cap the number of publications that were used as the basis for promotion (to 10 papers for full professor and 7 for associate). I like that idea, and think academics should list their top 5 papers separately to their full CV (see my full list here). 

My research has been covered by newspapers such as The Times, The Sunday Times, The Daily Telegraph, and The Evening Standard.

From 2011-2013 I was Head of Research at the London campus of ESCP Business School.
