I am Michael Andrew Tribe, born in Erith, near London, England in October 1943 (Erith was then in North West Kent rather than South East London as it is now) but moved with my mother soon afterwards to the house of her immediate family in Woodmansterne, Surrey while my father was with the Royal Army Service Corps during the Second World War. I updated these pages most recently in March 2024

I live in the West End of Glasgow. My wife, the Scottish artist Kathryn Kynoch, sadly passed away at the end of February 2025. As I write this, in early June 2025, I am still in a period of adjustment. In the near future both this personal website, and Kathryn’s personal website, will be significantly updated.

In the first instance the principal objective of this website was to make my curriculum vitae and a number of published and unpublished papers accessible. In due course the website can be developed to include a wider range of materials. In August 2018 I started a very modest Facebook presence, which complements this website, although this did not operate for a few months in early 2023 due to activity of hackers, with a new Facebook being started to replace the one which was stolen.

At the time of writing this my academic connection consists of being a Business School Affiliate in the University of Glasgow (this covers – inter  alia –  the Department of Economics and the Centre for Development Studies). This connection is much valued. For about 12 years I was also an Honorary Lecturer in the Department of Economics, University of  Strathclyde, Glasgow.

I have a number of email addresses at which I can be contacted, but the first port of call can be michael.tribe35@gmail.com
