Biography

Shane is a Principal Economist specialising in transport and urban economics. He leads much of MRCagney’s work on projects that require consideration of costs, benefits, incentives, or impacts on the housing and land markets. Shane also acts as an expert contributor to projects and collaborates on cross-disciplinary work in the fields of transport and land use.  

With a PhD in economics, Shane has a robust technical skillset but is still able to communicate simply and effectively at all levels of an organisation.  

Shane loves demystifying economics and working with clients to understand the simplicity of economic principles. A lifelong transport nerd from a family of helicopter mechanics, Shane prefers to keep his transport adventures on land – riding his e-bike 16km to work rain or shine, teaching his kids the ins and outs of the bus network, and exploring Auckland on bike and foot.
