DNA fragility in the parallel evolution of pelvic reduction in stickleback fish (2019)
Journal Article

Evolution generates a remarkable breadth of living forms, but many traits evolve repeatedly, by mechanisms that are still poorly understood. A classic example of repeated evolution is the loss of pelvic hindfins in stickleback fish (Gasterosteus acul...

Firm boundaries and financing with opportunistic stakeholder behaviour (2019)
Journal Article

We explore the impact of strategic behaviour of equity holders, debt holders and an opportunistic supplier of a critical input on the firm's capital structure, organisational design, and its outsourcing decision. We show that the supplier can trigger... Read More about Firm boundaries and financing with opportunistic stakeholder behaviour.

Analysing Slavery through Satellite Technology: How Remote Sensing Could Revolutionise Data Collection to Help End Modern Slavery (2019)
Journal Article

An estimated 40.3 million people are enslaved globally across a range of industries. Whilst these industries are known, their scale can hinder the fight against slavery. Some industries using slave labour are visible in satellite imagery, including m...
