Michael Nower

I am currently an Assistant Professor in Economics at Durham University Business School.

Since June 2023 I have been Programme Director for Durham's Philosophy, Politics & Economics (PPE) and Economics & Politics Programmes.

Previously I was a Fixed Term Lecturer in Economics  at Durham University Business School and a Post-Doctoral Research Associate for the Durham University Research Impact Fund and Durham University Faculty of Business funded project: 'Future UK Trade Arrangements: Potential Impact on the UK Economy'.  

I completed my PhD in Economics at Durham in 2019. My PhD thesis was titled 'Three Essays on International Trade and Productivity', funded by the ESRC NEDTC/NINEDTP, for which I was awarded the prize for 'Outstanding Doctoral Thesis' in Durham University Business School.

Together with Dr. Anamaria Nicolae I carried out work on a project assessing the impact of potential future trade agreements on the UK economy following UK’s exit from the European Union, which was published as an Impact Case Study in the UK REF 2021 research assessment exercise.

Research Interests: Applied Macroeconomics, International Trade.
