Really gutted that a promising PhD candidate might not be able to start his PhD due to a huge funding gap. It’s a tough reminder of how financial barriers still block talent from the Global South

Using representative data, we find that those who come as adults are much less likely to become homeowners compared to those who arrive very young.

Excited to share our new paper just published in @housingjournal.bsky.social, "Age at arrival and immigrants' housing outcomes: evidence from the UK".

In this study, we look at how the age at arrival (AAA) of immigrants in the UK affects their housing outcomes.
