Research Interests

Understanding the causes and evolution of spatial disparities in economic development, including the testing and development of new theories of spatial economics. Much of this work involves developing appropriate econometric models and using them to simulate spatial economic outcomes. His research has addressed questions of economic convergence or divergence among regions of the EU, international income disparities, and the causes of variations in employment growth, house prices and wage levels between different towns of the UK. He is Editor of the Journal Spatial Economic Analysis.
