Born in Bedlington, Northumberland, Thain received a BA in economics (1981) and Ph.D. in government (1985) from the University of Manchester.[1][2] He was previously based at the University of Ulster.

His research interests lie in the area of economic policy making, with a particular focus on HM Treasury and the Bank of England. His publications include an influential work in the study of the Treasury, The Treasury and Whitehall: The Planning and Control of Public Spending (co-authored with Maurice Wright, Clarendon Press, 1995),[4] and he is currently working on a project on the evolution of the Treasury under the New Labour government, funded by the Economic and Social Research Council.[5]
