Personal statement

Geoff is an ESRC-funded Ph.D. student at the University of Strathclyde and a Knowledge Exchange Assistant in the Fraser of Allander Institute (FAI). His research expertise is in Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) modeling. In his Ph.D., Geoff has investigated the trade impacts of the New Northern Ireland Protocol, adapted reference-dependent consumption assumptions to a CGE model, and is currently working on theoretical monetary union models. As a Knowledge Exchange Assistant, Geoff’s initial work has been to help to develop a monopolistic competition model of Scotland for future trade research for the CITP project. Before his Ph.D., Geoff completed a dissertation evaluating the implications of the great financial crisis on convergence in the European Union. He also worked on fiscal policy modeling as a research assistant for the FAI.
