Robert is a Research Economist in the Direct Tax and Welfare sector. His main research interests are in the evolution of living standards and the design of the tax and benefit system (and indeed the relationship between the two). He has been involved in several recent and current projects that attempt to simulate future levels of poverty and average incomes in the UK. Other work has focused on the determinants and consequences of children's early developmental indicators. Current research looks at whether parental marital status has any causal impact on children's cognitive and social skills; and whether early mental health problems have significant economic impacts later in life.
