Alistair is an applied microeconomist currently working on inequality, gender as well as understanding risk preferences. 

After pursuing undergraduate studies in development studies, Alistair obtained his PhD in economics in 2024, on inequality and identity. He previously worked as an economist at the Reserve Bank of Australia and in microfinance in Viet Nam.
