This is the personal website of Julian Jessop, where you can find my blog posts, a more detailed biography, and a contact page.

I’m an independent economist with nearly four decades of experience gained in the public sector, the City and consultancy. My interests include:

• UK and global economics
• Fiscal and monetary policy
• International trade
• Health economics
• Labour markets
• Poverty and inequality
• Environmental economics
• Asset pricing

All my educational, policy and social media activities are unpaid, including everything I do for the IEA, Futures for All (aka Speakers for Schools), and the RSA, although I still earn some income from providing economic advice to investment committees and from writing and presenting.

Thanks.
