Dr Overman's teaching focuses on applied spatial economic theory and policy. His current research interests include empirical tests of location theories, the evolution of city size distributions and the causes and consequences of urban sprawl. His research on clusters and urban sprawl has been published in leading economics journals (The Review of Economics Studies and The Quarterly Journal of Economics) while his work on city size distribution and the geography of UK trade has been published in leading economic geography journals (Environment and Planning A and The Journal of Economic Geography). He continues to publish in journals from both disciplines and, in August 2007, took over the joint-editorship of the inter-disciplinary Journal of Economic Geography. Dr Overman advises the UK's Department for Communities and Local Government on spatial economic policy, and the Department for Transport on transport policy. He is currently director of the MSc programme in Local Economic Development.
