About me

Anthony is a PhD student in Economic History at Stockholm University. His primary research interests are patterns of long-run economic development. His PhD research focuses on building resilience to economic shrinking (i.e., negative growth episodes), rather than just promoting growth, as a means of helping societal prosperity in the longterm.

Anthony holds an MSc in Economic Growth, Population and Development from Lund University (2022) and BA in Business Studies from Leeds Beckett University (2011).
