This paper uses the UK Millennium Cohort Study to quantify and characterize parental selection into divorce, and the relationship with child cognitive and socio-emotional skills during childhood. Combining a decomposition method with a counterfactual analysis based on a model of endogenous selection into divorce, this paper shows that the skill disadvantages among children of divorce stem almost entirely from the effects of selection.

One in three women have experienced violence from an intimate partner during their lifetime. In this paper we investigate the spillover effects of intimate partner violence on the human capital development of young children living in the same household.

We introduce the accelerated deferred acceptance algorithm that proceeds in a similar manner to deferred acceptance but with sure-to-be rejected proposals ruled out. Our algorithm outputs the same stable matching as DA but does so more efficiently.

We exploit the post-war immigration-induced regional variation in ethnic composition among British-born individuals to study inter-ethnic marriages in the UK. We make predictions for more recent cohorts whose marital choices are still to be completed.

Using data on UK students attending university from 2012-2020, we look at how LGB students differ from their heterosexual counterparts in terms of subject choices and early career outcomes.

This paper investigates whether the gender composition of ordinal rankings influences student's attitudes regarding gender roles/norms.

In this paper I study how heterogeneity in household income & child skills affects parents' decisions to invest in private education for their child, & how these choices contribute to inequality in university admissions in the context of South Korea.
