Dr Rhys Ap Gwilym

Dr Rhys ap Gwilym is a Senior Lecturer in Economics at 香港六合彩挂牌资料鈥檚 Business School. He trained as a macroeconomist at Cardiff University, gaining his PhD on the 鈥淢acroeconomic Implications of Behavioural Finance Models鈥� in 2009. His academic research has involved developing models which introduce behavioural factors into macroeconomic analysis (including DSGE models) and the analysis of financial instruments in a general equilibrium setting. He has published in journals including the Journal of Banking and Finance, Economics Letters and the Southern Economic Journal.

More recently, his research interests have evolved to cover spatial economics and public finance. He is currently working on a project examining how geographical differences in access to finance influence regional economic disparities; in particular the links between the financialization of land and regional economic development.

Rhys has a strong interest in regional development policy and its role in Wales in particular. He has been a principal investigator on two grant-funded research projects for the Welsh Government relating to land value tax and tourism taxes. He is a member of the Institute of Welsh Affairs鈥� Economic Policy Group, where he has been involved in the development of discussion papers on the Welsh economy. He recently contributed to the 鈥渆xpert roundtable on the Welsh tax base & implications for public policy鈥�.
