I am an economist and my research interests are at the interface of economics and transport policy. This has involved aviation and surface transport and specifically the implementation of


market-based instruments. The focus of my research has been to provide evidence for policy initiatives at local, national and international level. Specific areas include: regulation and


deregulation, the growth in low cost carriers, airport ground access, transport and sustainability and the role of car parking policy, road pricing, the workplace parking levy, road safety,


gender and transport and the air cargo sector. I am Editor-in-Chief of the Journal Research in Transportation Business and Management, Elsevier and Associate Editor of the Journal of


Transportation Planning and Technology, Taylor and Francis. I am also book series editor of Transport and Sustainability, Emerald and Contemporary Issues in Air Transport, Elsevier. I have
