Robert Gausden

I am currently employed as a Senior Lecturer in the Subject Group of Economics and Finance. In 2019/2020, I have been teaching Econometric Methods and Statistics for Economics, as well as pursuing research in the areas of Applied Macroeconomics and Higher Education. Since December 2019, I have been a member of the Engagement Forum of the Faculty of Business and Law. I also represent Economics and Finance within the Academic Staff Association. For several years, I have organised the annual Economics alumni event. Also, I have been pleased to contribute towards discussions concerning strategy, diversity and culture.

My research has primarily involved applying econometric techniques to macroeconomic time-series data. More recently, interest has focused upon the usefulness of measures of consumer confidence in predicting household consumption expenditure. Publications have been achieved in the European Economic Review, Applied Economics, and Applied Economics Letters.
