David Hearne's research centers on subnational economic development, with a strong focus on the regional implications of Brexit, regional price disparities, real incomes, and post-Brexit trade strategies. His work combines empirical spatial analysis with socio-economic and political inquiry, particularly in the UK context. He has published extensively on Brexit’s impact on regional voting patterns, economic resilience, and policy responses in the Midlands and beyond. His research often explores the intersection of industrial policy, political economy, and regional disparities.
His recent publications reflect a consistent trend in regional economics, political behavior, and post-Brexit policy design. Themes include just transitions in the automotive sector, the role of the Commonwealth in trade, and urban regeneration through major events. His collaborative work with scholars like Anita de Ruyter underscores a multidisciplinary approach to economic policy analysis.
