Gwilym is currently the Professor of Urban Economics and Social Statistics in the Department of Urban Studies, University of Glasgow.  He is the Director of Graduate Training in the Faculty of Law, Business and Social Sciences, University of Glasgow. He is also Chair of the Housing Research Group (Department of Urban Studies) and Founding Chair of SHEFRN (the Scottish Housing Economics and Finance Research Network).

Gwilym’s background is in economics (BA Hons Economics & Public Policy, 1st Class, Leeds Met 1988-1991; MSc Economics, Warwick 1992-1993; PhD Economics, Part-Time, Scottish Doctoral Programme 1995-1999), but has spent most of his academic career in an inter-disciplinary environment (Department of Urban Studies, University of Glasogw, 1995-present). His first job at the University of Glasgow was as an ESRC Research Fellow working on housing supply, mortgage default, and the inter-generational impacts of housing market structures.  He progressed to a Lectureship in 1996, then to the Deputy Directorship of the Graduate School in the Faculty of Social Science in 2001, Senior Lecturship in 2003, and to a Professorship in Urban Economics and Social Statistics in 2006.  Over that period, his interests have broadened to include research on linguistics (researching speech patterns in adolescents); textual analysis (analysing the language of marketing); criminology (looking at the socio-economic drivers and impacts of crime); and theology (researching the links between beliefs and pastoral care).

His core research interests, however, remain in the field of urban economics, and most of his research publications (36 journal articles, published reports, book chapters and books) have been on housing and mortgage markets.  His work spans a wide spectrum from highly technical/theoretical work published in leading international academic journals in his field (such as Real Estate Economics and Journal of Urban Economics), to applied policy reports for government departments.  His work has been cited in major policy reports (such as the HM Treasury Barker Review of Housing Supply, 2003) and in high-level commercial documents (such papers prepared for the Basel conference of Central Bank Economists in 2003).

Gwilym has been an expert advisor at a senior policy level in Central Government (to Yvette Cooper – the Minister for Housing and Planning – on Housing Wealth Inequality, and to Kate Barker CBE – Member of the Monetary Policy Committee – on both Stages I and II of the HM Treasury Review of Housing Supply). He has recently been appointed to the Expert Panel on Planning and Housing (Department of Communities and Local Government).

He has provided research, consultancy and advice to a wide variety of private and public sector ogranisations (including the Office of Fair Trading, Monopolies & Mergers Commission, Cabinet Office, European Commission, Department of Trade and Industry, Royal Institution for Chartered Surveyors, Office of the Deputy Prime Minister/Department of Communities and Local Government, Council for Mortgage Lenders, National Assembly for Wales, Federal National Mortgage Association, House Building Federation, Strathclyde Police, and various Local Authorities).

He is currently the Principal Investigator on the EWESEM (Extreme Weather Event Socio-Economic Model) project -- a key component of the £1.6m EPSRC CREW (Community Resilience to Extreme Weather) consortium. He is also an Associate Researcher for the Scottish Centre for Research on Social Justice, a Co-Director of the Economics of Crime Unit in the Department of Urban Studies and is a member of the International Centre for Housing and Urban Economics (University of Reading). Gwilym is also on the Editorial Board of a number of international journals (including the European Journal of Housing Policy, Journal of Property Research, and the International Journal of Housing Markets and Analysis).  He is the Chair of the Housing Research Group (University of Glasgow) and Founding Chair of the Scottish Housing Economics and Finance Research Network. He has been an external examiner on PhDs at the Universities of Melbourne and Reading.
