Trosolwyg

I have been a member of staff at Cardiff Business School since 1994. I have a wide range of research interests relating to regional economics and policy, regional input-output analysis, economic evaluation, foreign direct investment, and economic development.

I was a founder member of the Welsh Economy Research Unit (WERU), and am Deputy Director. With WERU members I have been involved in a number of a number of externally funded research projects which have been undertaken for private and public organisations, examples include:

  • A £1.2m programme of EU research in Wales examining small firm impacts of access to superfast broadband services.
  • Economic Intelligence Wales research programme examining small firm finance.

My most recent academic journal publications have been in the National Institute Economic Review, and European Planning Studies (both 2021). In previous years I have published in journals such as the European Journal of Operational Research, Marine Policy and Urban Studies. I addition, I have published numerous project reports as part of externally funded research activities.

I am Editor of the Welsh Economic Review, which is published online by Cardiff University Press. https://wer.cardiffuniversitypress.org/
