In the subject of general Economic growth, his work in Poverty is often linked to Unit, Secondary education, Presidency and European union, thereby combining diverse domains of study.
His research integrates issues of Numeracy and Literacy in his study of Demographic economics.
His work on Earnings inequality as part of general Labour economics study is frequently connected to Incentive, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them.
His Earnings study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Marriage market, Economic inequality and Educational attainment.
David Lam focuses mostly in the field of Order, narrowing it down to topics relating to Fertility and, in certain cases, Demography.
