During his stay, Dr. De Widt is collaborating closely with GFRC director, Dr. Deborah A. Carroll, to advance joint research on local government finance. This workshop will focus on trends in public sector capital investment, beginning with a short presentation by Dr. De Widt on his work examining capital investment in the British healthcare system. He and Dr. Carroll will then share early insights from their ongoing project on US municipal capital investment, drawing on both qualitative interviews and quantitative analysis. Designed as a highly interactive session, the workshop aims to foster discussion and gather feedback from participants, helping to shape the direction of their ongoing research and ensure its relevance to both scholars and practitioners.
