After receiving my PhD from Rutgers University in New Jersey, I joined the University of Reading in England as an Assistant Professor, and since 1999 I have been an Associate Professor at the University of Maastricht.

I have also been a consultant for the Economists Advisory Group Ltd, London, for projects on automotive investment in Brazil and competitiveness in Northern Ireland.
