Research - Economics
Research Groups
Staff in Economics carry out a wide range of research. To help focus the research effort, we organise our research into two broad areas.
However, there is considerable overlap between these research areas, and, in practice, most staff are active in several fields.
Researchers working in similar fields of interest are grouped under the relevant Research Groups.

Macroeconomics, Money and Finance
