About
Aaron is a doctoral candidate in Management (Employment Relations and Human Resources) at the London School of Economics. His research is motivated by an interest in understanding how people’s experiences outside of work shape their behaviour and performance as employees.
Aaron’s dissertation focuses on how immigrants’ experiences of living and working in foreign countries shape the performance of individuals and teams. His job market paper explores whether prior experience in a country is an asset or a liability for immigrant workers changing organisations. His other dissertation research examines the contributions immigrants make to teams and organisations. A second stream of research examines how employees volunteering outside of the workplace shapes outcomes for themselves and their organisations at work. A final area of interest assesses how access to information drives the gender pay gap through the effect of information on expectations about pay. He explores these topics through econometric analyses of archival datasets, meta-analytic techniques, experimental approaches, and psychometric methods.
In addition to his research, Aaron has also taught on courses in Econometrics (MG205) and Management Analytics (MG107SC) within the Department of Management, and has been awarded an annual LSE Class Teacher Award for outstanding teaching on three occasions. He is an accredited Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA).
Prior to joining LSE, Aaron graduated from the University of Oxford with a BA in Economics and Management where he earned various prizes and awards, including a Gibb's Prize in Management and a College Scholarship.
