His work is supported by the Maine Agricultural and Forest Experiment Station, and he founded the Maine Regional Economic Forecast Lab in 2018 to develop new economic indicators for the state. He divides his time equally between teaching macroeconomics and conducting research on regional economic resilience, modeling, and policy analysis.
Education:
- Ph.D. in Economics, University of Glamorgan
- PGDIP in Economics, Exeter University

Dr. Crawley's research centers on regional economic development, with dual emphases on economic policy analysis and economic modeling. He develops and applies innovative methods to study industrial agglomerations, spatial economic interactions, and regional resilience. His methodological expertise includes Input-Output (IO), Econometric IO, Computable General Equilibrium (CGE), and forecasting models. He has worked with policymakers across Europe, the U.S., and Australia to produce economic impact assessments and improve regional development strategies.
His recent publications focus on urban-rural disparities, commuting effects on worker utility, location quotients as policy tools, and cluster policy evaluation. These works reflect a consistent trend toward improving quantitative tools for regional analysis and enhancing the policy relevance of spatial economics.

Dr. Crawley is actively involved in research funding and leadership, currently leading the project Developing Economic Models for the Analysis of Regional Resilience in Rural Areas (Hatch project ME021902) under the Maine Agricultural and Forest Experiment Station. He advises students and likely mentors graduate researchers, though no formal list of advisees is provided. His teaching includes ECO-121: Introduction to Macroeconomics.
He founded and leads the Maine Regional Economic Forecast Lab, which focuses on building econometric models to monitor and forecast regional economic trends, with future work aiming to construct an Econometric IO forecast model for Maine. The lab serves as a hub for applied regional economic research and policy engagement.
