John Paul Marney

Assistant Professor

It’s a while since I published any research, but my main areas of interest used to be financial market efficiency studies using new computing techniques such as neural networks and genetic programming. I also used to have a keen interest in the methodology of economics and I retain a keen interest in what mathematical models actually mean – if anything. My PhD is on GDP growth modelling. Many years ago I was a mainstream economist (rather than a financial economist) with an intense interest in growth, structural change and deindustrialization.

Areas of interest

• Market Efficiency. Methodology. Mathematical Models. Genetic Programming. Neural Networks. GDP growth. Economic structural change.
