Dr Laurence Roope is a Research Fellow at Green Templeton College and a Senior Researcher at the Economics of Population Health Research Centre (EPH), part of the Nuffield Department of Population Health, University of Oxford.

His research spans development and health economics, with a particular focus on inequality, poverty and societal wellbeing. A central strand of his work develops theoretically grounded approaches to measuring and analysing inequality and translating distributional objectives into public policy.

Laurence also uses economic analysis to address major global challenges, including antimicrobial resistance, pandemics and environmental sustainability. His research combines welfare and measurement theory with applied microeconometrics and experimental methods.
