My general research interests are in macroeconomics, international finance and applied statistics. I am particularly interested in the analysis of factors affecting regional, national and international economic performance. Over the last few years I have been involved in statistical work concerned with the nature of the business cycle and the cyclical co-movement between economies and regions. I have also been involved in work concerned with the impact of exchange rate policy on economic performance. Additional interests include spectral analysis and the application of fuzzy logic to economic modelling.
