Macroeconomic Fluctuations in Home Countries and Immigrants’ Wellbeing
In this paper we provide the first solid empirical evidence that improvements in home countries’ macroeconomic conditions, as measured by a higher GDP per capita and lower price levels, increase immigrants’ subjective well-being. We demonstrate this using 12 years of... Read article

Exchange rate fluctuations and immigrants’ labour market outcomes
In this paper, we exploit exogenous changes in exchange rates across home countries over time and panel data to identify the casual impact of exchange rate fluctuations on Australian immigrants’ labour market outcomes. We present new and robust evidence that,... Read article

A Multi-Market Approach to Measuring the Cycle
At any given moment there are numerous indicators of the state of an economy or sector. Frequently, these signals are divergent, for example, some may point to an expansion, while others to a contraction. We consider how best to combine... Read article

Modelling Financial Satisfaction across Life Stages
Abstract We explore the determinants of
financial satisfaction using a modelling framework which allows the drivers of fi
nancial satisfaction to vary across life stages. Given that fi
nancial satisfaction is measured as an ordered variable, our modelling approach is based on... Read article
