Hello. My name is Max Nathan, and I work at the London School of Economics and at NIESR. At NIESR I'm a Senior Research Fellow. At LSE, I'm a Research Fellow based at the Spatial Economics Research Centre. I completed my PhD at LSE in Autumn 2011.
My academic research focuses on the economics of cultural diversity, in particular the performance of diverse cities, and links between immigration, diverse communities and innovation. I’m also interested in innovation systems, the green economy and in wider public policy for cities.
I co-founded the Centre for Cities, and sit on the Centre’s Research Advisory Board. I’m an Associate at the think tanks Demos, The Work Foundation and ippr.
I’ve also worked in Whitehall at the Department of Communities and Local Government as an ESRC-DCLG funded Strategy Adviser, on issues like localism, regeneration and economic development.
My CV is here.
