Senior Economist - Fraser of Allander Institute

The Fraser of Allander Institute (FAI) is a leading economics research institute which is an integral part of the Economic Department at Strathclyde and Strathclyde Business School.

Over the last forty years, the FAI has developed an unrivalled knowledge and understanding of the Scottish economy and is widely regarded as Scotland’s expert authority on economic policy issues.

The FAI is different from traditional academic institutes in that it combines internationally renowned researchers with knowledge exchange specialists who have significant experience from the public and private sectors. This ensures that the Institute’s analysis is not only cutting edge but delivered in a way which is accessible and relevant. Institute staff are regularly called upon to provide independent briefing and advice to government, parliament and industry.

We have an excellent reputation for independence and impartiality. This ensures that our studies carry significant weight and impact amongst the business and policy community.
