Research Interests

His research interests lie in economic modelling and forecasting, the functioning of the Stability and Growth Pact and in various aspects of intra-national macroeconomics with special reference to the analysis of consumption risk-sharing, regional growth dynamics and economic policy. Most recently he has begun to apply some of his skills to issues of a local regional nature - including most importantly, the monitoring and forecasting of the regional economy of the North West of England and the analysis of the regional business cycle in the UK and in Japan.
