"Police Patrols and Crime" Abstract An influential literature has used the aftermath of terrorist attacks to estimatelarge effects of police street deployment on crime.

Thispaper exploits a natural experiment that aimed to increase police presence in morethan 6,000 well-defined areas, by…

Exact Bayesian inference for discretely observed jump-diffusions The standard approach to inference for parametric diffusion processesrelies on discretisation techniques (such as the Euler method) thatintroduce an approximation error difficult to quantify especially fordiscontinuous models, like jump-diffusions.In this talk, I will present methodology for exact inference thatavoids discretisation errors and allows to design MCMC samplerstargeting the…

"Twisting and turning: Moral deliberations of borderworkers on the EU’s Mediterranean external border" ABSTRACT Borderworkers challenge the dominant notion of the ‘humanitarian border’ and in so doing, their portrayal as ‘cogs in the wheel’.

First, using high frequency trade-policy data, we present fresh evidence on the dynamic effects of temporary trade barriers. Estimates from country-level and panel VARs show that protectionism acts as a supply shock, causing output to fall and inflation to rise in the short…

"Trade unions action in segmented labour markets: migrant care work in the UK and the NL" abstract The recent ‘Brexit’ decision by the UK has provided a strong illustration of a widespread negative perception of immigration and migrant labour as detrimental to welfare resources and decent employment conditions. However, this debate has often ignored political…
