Dr Ian Gregory-Smith is a Reader in Economics at 麻豆传媒 Business School since September 2022. He is an applied microeconomist. He has worked in the fields of Labour Economics, Industrial Organisation, Finance, Corporate Governance, Management and Sports Economics.   

He previously worked in the Department of Economics at the University of Sheffield from 2012-2022 and the University of Edinburgh 2010-2012. His undergradute and postgradute studies were at the University of Nottingham, graduating with a PhD in 2009.

Prior to being an academic, he worked in the private sector for 2 years for Manifest Information Services Ltd (now Minerva Analytics), who provide research and voting services for institutional investors. 

Ian’s primary research interests concern the executive labour market and related issues associated with gender, corporate governance, executive remuneration and shareholder voting. 

More recently, Ian's work on the executive labour market has developed to consider the implications for the firm's international strategy on issues such as exporting, hiring, networking, and innovation. His work also uses data from professional sports to provide insights into open questions in labour economics, personnel economics and management. 

Ian’s research has been used to inform policy at HM Treasury and the Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy (formerly Department of Business, Innovation and Skills).

I currently teach Labour Economics for third year undergraduates. This module provides a rigorous treatment of theory alongside econometric analysis of empirical evidence in modern labour topics. These topics include labour supply and demand, labour market discrimination, trade unions, incentive pay and labour tournaments. 

The course is excellent preparation for graduate level study with a focus on microeconomics.

I also teach Microeconomics for postgraduate students. This module provides an introduction to graduate level study of Microeconomics, covering consumer theory, producer theory and game theory. The course is designed to equip students with the technical and mathematical skills required for work as a professional economist or for a doctorate in economics.
