International finance, institutional economics, and public finance in a historical perspective. "The past has useful economics" and we can use it to draw valid inferences for current debates or to test theories of economic behaviour. I deal with the nature of governance in an international market for sovereign debt, the determinants of capital flows to developing nations, fixed exchange rate pegs and emigrants' remittances. The "first wave of globalisation" before World War One is relevant to the present-day process of international economic integration. |

Anthropometrics with emphasis on archaeology. Recent projects have focused on the long run development of nutritional status in pre- and early historic Europe with interests in the impact of historical experiences of Romanisation, urbanisation, and other environmental transformation. Another focus of attention is possible changes in the relative status of the genders in the very long-run affecting the biological standard of living. |
