A Steindlian account of the distribution of corporate profits and leverage: A stock-flow consistent macroeconomic model with agent-based microfoundations
Preprint / Working Paper

Post Keynesian economics has largely forgotten Steindl's insight that monopolisation of the corporate sector redistributes profits to those firms least likely to invest them productively. Agent-based methods can be used to incorporate Steindl's insig...

Environmental law-making public opinion in Victorian Britain: The cross-currents of Bentham's and Coleridge's ideas (2014)
Journal Article

It is increasingly clear that law and its enforcement in Victorian Britain were quite effective in tackling formative industrial problems concerning pollution and broader threats to nature. What is unclear is the political philosophy, if any, underly... Read More about Environmental law-making public opinion in Victorian Britain: The cross-currents of Bentham's and Coleridge's ideas.

Addressing the human factor in data access: Incentive compatibility, legitimacy and cost-effectiveness in public data resources
Preprint / Working Paper

Traditional models of incentivising people suggest that positive incentives are more effective than negative ones. We argue that in data access the opposite can be true, as the assumptions made at the design stage can fundamentally change the user en...
