Short Bio:

Michael commenced working for the Centre of Labour Market Research in 2007. Since then Michael has worked on a number of projects which relate to regional labour markets. Michael’s work includes the modeling of regional child social exclusion from a labour market perspective and more recently a much larger investigation into the market for tradespersons over the business cycle. Currently, Michael is involved in a number of projects including the migration and the earnings of tradespersons and will soon commence another project looking into the rate of return of higher education.  Michael is supervised by professor Phil Lewis and professor Anne Daly.
