Illegal markets for legal commodities
Substances such as tobacco, alcohol, cannabis and e-cigarettes are available to consumer via legal pathways, yet illicit markets for all of these substances exist. My research in this area seeks to understand the demand- and supply-side drivers of these markets, and potential policy responses.

Consumer demand for illicitly traded tobacco products
Since 2023, I have developed a research program (funded by an ARC DECRA Fellowship) investigating consumer demand for illicitly traded tobacco products. This program comprises a nationally representative survey and an international survey, street intercept studies, qualitative interviews with consumers, and the development of a scale to understand consumer susceptibility to purchasing illicitly traded tobacco products.
