Biography:
| John Cullinan is a Lecturer in Economics and joined the JE Cairnes School of Business & Economics in 2010. He completed his doctoral studies at NUI Galway in 2009, where his work focussed on the valuation of environmental public goods using econometric, spatial microsimulation and GIS techniques. John holds a primary degree in Actuarial and Financial Studies and an MA in Economics from University College Dublin, as well as an MSc in Econometrics and Mathematical Economics from the London School of Economics. He was a Visiting Scholar at the University of California, Berkeley in 2008. John previously worked as a Junior Lecturer in Economics at the University of Limerick and at NUI Maynooth, an Assistant Lecturer in Economics at UCD, and as a Consultant at the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development in London. He has also spent six years working as an Economic Consultant with Indecon Economic Consultants and worked as a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Irish Centre for Social Gerontology at NUI Galway. John’s research interests lie in the application of econometric and spatial modelling techniques in the fields of health economics, spatial economics and environmental economics, with a specific focus on public policy issues and evidence-based policy. He has published his research in a number of leading international peer-reviewed journals, including Health Economics, Economics and Human Biology, Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health, Health and Place, Spatial Economic Analysis, Regional Studies, Environmental and Resource Economics, Ecological Economics, Applied Economics and many more. |
