Pavlin Shipkov

Pavlin Shipkov serves as a Senior Teaching Fellow within the Faculty of Business & Law at the University of Portsmouth, specifically affiliated with the School of Accounting, Economics and Finance. His academic role integrates teaching responsibilities with applied research focused on regional economic challenges and public service systems.

His research centers on the socioeconomic impacts of geographical isolation, particularly examining how physical separation from mainland regions affects public service accessibility in island communities like the Isle of Wight. Using computable general equilibrium (CGE) modeling and data analysis, he investigates policy interventions for regional economic resilience. His work bridges theoretical economic frameworks with practical public administration challenges, emphasizing evidence-based solutions for underserved communities.

Shipkov's scholarly output demonstrates consistent focus on regional policy evaluation, with his 2016 commissioned report establishing methodological approaches for assessing service delivery constraints in geographically isolated areas. His research trajectory shows specialization in translating economic modeling into actionable policy insights for local governance.

He contributed as Co-Investigator to the 2016-2017 'CGE Local Economy Model' project, which analyzed population dynamics and policy change impacts on local economies. This collaborative work involved interdisciplinary teams examining economic resilience metrics and policy adaptation strategies.

Within the University of Portsmouth, Shipkov collaborates with researchers across the Faculty of Business & Law on projects addressing regional economic development, particularly through the School of Accounting, Economics and Finance's applied policy research initiatives.
