UIC’s Government Finance Research Center is pleased to host a special workshop featuring Dennis De Widt, associate professor at Cardiff University, who is visiting the Government Finance Research Center as part of the institutional partnership between the University of Illinois System and Cardiff University. During his stay, De Widt is collaborating closely with Government Finance Research Center Director 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 De Widt on his work examining capital investment in the British health care system. He and Carroll will then share early insights from their ongoing project on U.S. capital investment fragmentation, 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.
