Expertise Summary
I have been with the University of Nottingham, Ningbo, China since 2007 appointed as
Lecturer in Economics. My main research interest is in Taxation, mainly from economics
and economic psychology perspectives. Aspects of taxation that I have researched on
include Tax Competition using both theory and experiments. My current research looks
at compliance behaviour in various contexts such as regulation in the general sense,
taxation and information security more specifically. Most of my research so far has taken
a behavioural perspective and the tools that I have used are the experimental methods
as employed in economics.
