About
I specialise in structural transformation and industrial policy in sub-Saharan Africa, combining insights from post-Keynesian macroeconomics, theories of industrial organisation and the firm and political economy. My research advances the concepts of demand-led structural transformation and domestic market formation and explores how accumulation processes are shaped and constrained by the growth of domestic consumer and intersectoral demand, monopolistic market structures and historically formed power relations.
