BRI Seminar Series

This seminar discusses my PhD research begun in February 2003, focusing on modeling regional economies using an Input-Output approach in Southern Grampians and Buloke Shires. It outlines the inspiration drawn from earlier economic impact assessments, the transition from Masters to PhD studies, and the benefits of cross-campus research and collaborations with outside organizations like BCG. I'll also address the consulting work undertaken, highlighting the importance of community connections and practical experience to enrich academic understanding and regional economic analysis.
