Welcome to my website. I am a professor of economics at the University of California, Irvine. I do research on the economic history of transportation and economic development in Britain, India, and from a global perspective. I study how transport has evolved in the past depending on the economic and institutional environment. I also examine the economic impacts of transport improvements on market, aggregate, and local-level outcomes. I address such topics by introducing new historical datasets and combining them with various statistical tools and geographic information systems.
