Trosolwyg

In addition to editorial involvement with the Review of Economic Studies, the Journal of Industrial Economics and the Controversies section in The Economic Journal, I have authored more than sixty papers in research journals and books.

My research areas include the macroeconomics of imperfect competition, oligopoly theory, learning and bounded rationality.

I have been a member of the Council of the Royal Economic Society and the CEPR, and am currently a member of the CESifo network. I received my PhD from Oxford University in 1985 under the supervision of Nobel Laureate Sir James Mirrlees, and was a Professor at York from 1992 until I came to Cardiff in 2006.

Addysgu

I currently teach just one course due to my responsibilities as Head of the Economics Section. This is a third-year undergraduate course I designed myself, BS 3578 Economic Statistics in Theory and Practice. This explores how the key data such as inflation and GDP are constructed and involves using a lot of the basic raw data used to construct the headline statistics. This is a subject that is not widely taught in university courses, but is extremely useful for anyone who wants to work as a professional economist, whether in the private or public sectors. Prior to becoming head of section, I taught the year three Macroeconomic analysis course and a PhD course on Monetary Policy.

Previously, I have taught both core micro and macroeconomics at all levels: from year 1 to year 3, MSc and PhD. I enjoy teaching and many of my research ideas have come from teaching. I also like to use my current research to inform my teaching.
