Ian Wilson BA, MSc

Principal Research Fellow


Summary

Ian Wilson is a Principal Research Fellow in CRESR who coordinates its Social, Economic and Regeneration team. Ian has over 15 years’ of experience in undertaking applied policy research and evaluation. He has successfully directed or managed strands on major evaluation projects for a range of commissioning bodies, including the DWP, MHCLG, the Welsh Government, the Joseph Rowntree Foundation, Power to Change, the British Red Cross, Save the Children, the Northern Housing Consortium, Flagship Housing Group, Wakefield and District Housing and the Northern Ireland Housing Executive.

About

Ian has considerable expertise and experience in economic evaluation and econometric/statistical analysis. This includes the application of Cost Benefit Analysis (including the economic valuation of impacts), economic impact analysis, analysis of financial accounts, survey research and the use of advanced statistical methods in the analysis of cross-sectional, multi-level and longitudinal datasets. Much of his work has involved devising innovative methods and solutions for these methods. For example: producing a measure of a Young Person's proximity to the labour market; creating a costing model to monetise the effects of complex need projects on the usage of statutory services; identifying the impact of direct payment of housing benefit on tenants rent payment behaviour; and identifying the impact of New Deal Communities (NDC), included pioneering work to monetise the value of 'perceptional' outcomes from regeneration programmes such as NDC. He has contributed to over eighty policy orientated papers and reports. Ian has also produced papers for peer-reviewed academic journals and presented at conferences and seminars.

His research interests include economic methods for valuation and evaluation, housing affordability, the provision of older peoples housing, labour market interventions and place based policy.
