Research in the Economics Department


Our research programme emphasises rigorous economic and econometric modelling, but also a concern for practical applications in both private and public sectors.  Much of our research involves collaboration, within the department and University more widely, and with outside bodies, for example NERA and the King's Fund.

 

The School of Social Sciences has made a considerable investment in recent years into economics at City.  This includes an increase in academic staff, enabling existing and new staff to spend more time on research, and funding for postdoctoral research fellows and PhD student bursaries.

 

Individual staff pages give details of current research and recent publications.  Our research is also reported in our Discussion Paper series.
