Since 1997, I have been a Fellow of Balliol College, Oxford, where I teach economics, and occasionally politics. For A little while I was Academic and Research Director at the Institute of Economic Affairs, and for rather longer, Managing Editor of Oxford Economic Papers. Before those things, I read PPE at Keble College, for an MPhil and a DPhil at Nuffield College, worked for a couple of years for Oliver, Wyman and Company in New York, and was a fellow of St Peter's College and University Lecturer in the Economics of European Integration for a few more. While at Balliol, I took the Bar Exam through Gray’s Inn and the Inns of Court School of Law, and was once Senior Proctor.
