Portrait of Tom Glinnan

Tom Glinnan

Assistant Professor (Education)
Department of Economics, London School of Economics

I'm an econometrician, meaning that I help to develop methods that economists use to analyse data. I'm interested in pretty much every subfield of econometric theory, and have worked in partial / weak identification, meta-analysis and design-based inference.

Much of my current work involves teaching econometrics at LSE from undergrad to PhD level, and advising applied researchers. I'm particularly keen to help students who come from disadvantaged backgrounds, as well as anyone who has ever found metrics to be too boring or technical.

The best way to get in contact with me is via email. You can see my email address, as well as my (teaching-based) CV below.

Teaching

In 2026-2027, I'm teaching on Probability and Statistical Inference (EC400), the Pre-sessional Course for EME (EC451), Econometric Analysis (EC484) and Econometrics II (EC2C4) at LSE. I'm also leading seminars for EC484, and for Econometrics for MRes students (EC443).

From time to time, I may place some additional teaching materials here, so that they can be publicly available.
