Dr Martin Quinn

I am a political economist with particular interests in regional development and industrial strategy. I first joined Leicester as an undergraduate in 1996 and was appointed to my current position in the School of Business in 2019.

My research explores the points at which the public and private sectors meet to formulate policy. i question mainstream theories of the role of the state in the economy in my work advocating for a more nuanced understanding of the development of new ideas and jobs in the economy. Over the course of my career to date I have worked on funded research projects totalling over £1.2 million in research income from a range of funders including the ESRC AHRC British Academy British Council Central Government and Regional Development Agencies. During 2021 I was seconded to the Industrial Strategy Council at BEIS as a political economist to work on a report into governance and devolution in the UK.
