Josh’s doctoral research focuses on British macroeconomic history post-1945, from Bretton Woods to the Great Moderation, and encompasses several themes of interest to both history and economics alike. He has a particular interest in open-economy macroeconomic issues and the application of time-series econometrics to investigating and understanding phenomena in this area, and their relevance to economic policy.
Josh holds a BSc in Economic History (First Class) and an MSc in Economic History (Distinction) from the London School of Economics. He also holds a Graduate Diploma in Finance from the same institution.
Beyond his immediate PhD thesis, Josh’s wider interests cover the British economy from the Industrial Revolution to present day, and the history of both economic and econometric thought. In particular, the work of the distinguished 20th century economist and Nobel Laureate in Economics Professor James Meade, whose intellectual endeavours span an enormous breadth of both theoretical and applied economics.
