Postgraduate supervision

Anthony Heyes is an enthusiastic and “hands on” supervisor. I work closely with students, often co-authoring at least one research paper for external publication, and have supervised more than 10 PhD students through to completion. I am happy to be named as prospective supervisor if you are interested in working on theoretical or empirical topics in any of the areas listed below - looking under the “Publications” tab on this profile page will give you a good idea of the sort of projects I like to be involved in.

I am particularly keen to hear from well-qualified and motivated to students with strong econometric or data science interests and skills, and would encourage you to make informal contact with me in advance of application so that we can discuss your plans and interests at an early stage.
