I have always combined my role as an academic with applied research and consultancy because I believe that that to be a good economist you must combined economic theory with practical application. After taking up the role as Emeritus Professor I have become more active in applied research and consultancy with research work for Jobs Queensland (labour market research) , BMD (Construction workforce management) the Tasmanian Wine Association (modelling wine demand, price elasticities), the Kingston Group (Economics of Artificial intelligence) and the University of Queensland Paralympic Centre of Excellence on projects involving the Australian. Queensland, Western Australian and South Australian economies.
I have been very fortunate to have been able to study and research in several world class universities and senior Government departments , in a small way, to influence public policy. I was not always easy, and I was helped along the way by several scholarships and bursaries. As such I wish to use the blog to assist others wishing to study economics who, for a variety of reasons, require additional help to pursue their studies I will establish a donation fund, to be administered by an independent board and the proceeds used to purchase equipment and care assistance for these students.
