Proud to say I've visited both the @NIAuditOffice and @WesternMichU. Who else can say that!
Great to welcome @WesternMichU accountant students to our office today! We hope you enjoyed your visit!
Remarkable to see myself in this news report from 2008 in the week that I return to the ESRI's Quarterly Economic Commentary team - after a break of 14 years.
ESRI report indicates that Ireland is in recession.

Here is a link to the @ESRIDublin, @IRLDeptFinance paper on trade protectionist measures and the likely impact on the Irish economy. An important and timely paper and good to see such valuable collaboration between the ESRI and the DoF.

Great to represent the @NIFiscalCouncil at today's @NIAuditOffice conference - a lively panel discussion about using public funds wisely to improve outcomes for the citizens of Northern Ireland.

Delighted to be in Belfast to present the Macro Model for Northern Ireland—joint proj w @ESRIDublin & @ibec_irl I’ve worked on for the past 3 years. Fruitful discussion w NI’s Finance Minister John O’Dowd this morning & policymakers to discuss the impact of e model. @EconSteveM
In a housing-related discussion on @morningireland earlier today, @labour leader @ivanabacik made reference to an @ESRIDublin study on the possible impacts of tax breaks for housing. For those interested, I think this is the study in question:

This morning @ruthanned880 @DJordan_Econ and I have published our report on how Northern Ireland can close the productivity gap on the rest of the UK and the Republic of Ireland.
Interesting perspective on the importance of the role of director of UK research institute @NIESRorg. By coincidence, the role of director of Ireland's @ESRIDublin has also been advertised and a similar perspective applies.
Here’s an outstanding opportunity to help build a better future for Britain - @NIESRorg has just advertised for its next Director. Rigorous research plus real impact on the biggest issues facing our economy and society. odgersberndtson.com/opportun…
An important day for the @ESRIDublin as we launch a new macroeconomic model of Northern Ireland, funded by @ibec_irl and co-developed with our sister institute in the UK, @NIESRorg. This new model will be a valuable tool for analysing economic policy in NI.
Today, @ESRIDublin and @NIESRorg, supported by @ibec_irl, have published 'Modelling Northern Ireland within the context of the all-island economy'.

Looking forward to participating in this @CommunityFound event. The @ESRIDublin has undertaken a vast amout of research on child poverty - covering causes, consequences and policy options. I hope to draw on that in addressing the conference.

Very helpful to have an estimate from @NIESRorg of the possible impact of Trump's return. I assume the percentage impact on Ireland would be higher.

President @JMilei's interest in Ireland's economic model led to much press interest in my visit to @IrlEmbArgentina. Here's an example of some of the coverage. @cecidegli @ESRIDublin
