Gregory Thwaites

I am an Associate Professor in Economics at the University of Nottingham, a Research Director at the Resolution Foundation and the Business Manager of the Review of Economic Studies. I am on sabbatical from the Bank of England, where my most recent job was as Head of International Research. I am a visiting fellow at the LSE Centre for Macroeconomics. I have also worked as an economist for the United Nations Mission in Kosovo and the Independent Commission on Banking (the ‘Vickers Commission’), inter alia.

My two main current projects are:

• The Economy 2030 Inquiry, a collaboration between the Resolution Foundation and LSE to chart a new course for economic policy in the UK

• The Decision Maker Panel, a collaboration between Stanford and Nottingham Universities to measure and understand how Covid and Brexit, inter alia, are impacting the UK economy

In 2015 I received my PhD in economics from LSE under the supervision of Silvana Tenreyro. I have broad theoretical and empirical research interests in the macroeconomics of demographic and structural change, firm-level data, macroeconomic policy and inequality and distribution. As well as teaching Monetary Theory and Practice at the University of Nottingham, I have taught macroeconomics at Cambridge (final-year undergraduate supervisions), international finance at LSE (PhD field course lectures), and several substantial technical assistance programmes in the Kosovo Ministry of Economy and Finance and the Bank of England's Centre for Central Banking Studies.

I am an experienced TV and radio interviewee on current economic affairs, on programmes for both general and specialist audiences. Here's an example.
