Charles Dannreuther
I have been involved in SME policy research since the mid 1990s when I compared UK and EU SME policies for a PhD in Government. Since then I have worked with academics and policy makers in a range of fields (including SME representation, EU accession, competitiveness agendas, social policies and inclusion) and places undertaking research and delivering training for a range of international and national actors. Much of my research uses different techniques to explore the distance between the interests of policy makers and SMEs and this has led to projects on SME finance, policy impact, regulatory burdens and the first historical study of the invention of UK SME policy. I chaired Europe’s largest study on the global financial crash and am now general secretary of the European association for Evolutionary Political Economy (EAEPE) which promotes pluralist understanding of real world economics. I live in Brighton and am married with a son, a daughter and a dog.
