Economics & Finance

Money makes the world go round. Questions about how it flows, who gets what, and what it is used for fundamentally affect the lives of everyone on the planet – and indeed the future of the planet itself. It is hard to think of any aspect of human society that is untouched by economics and finance.

The subject area Economics & Finance brings together top quality research across the whole field, from the hard, analytical world of econometrics to subtle, critical evaluations of economic history, from studies of the behaviour of individual economic actors or financial markets, to the wide-ranging macro sphere of global economies and public finance. The collection also comprises exciting, interdisciplinary research across the United Nations’ SDGs, particularly as they look at economic growth and inequality.
