We are a research intensive and generalist Economics Subject Group. Our members have specialisation in all three foundational areas of economics and use both theoretical and applied methods:

• microeconomics
• macroeconomics
• econometrics

Our members of staff regularly publish on a wide range of topics in top generalist and top field journals, including:

• Economics Journal
• International Economics Review
• Review of Economics and Statistics
• Journal of Economic Theory
• Journal of Economic Growth
• Journal of Development Economics
• Journal of Money, Credit and Banking
• Journal of Health Economics
• Journal of International Money and Finance
• Journal of Financial Stability

Members of the group are involved in several funded research projects awarded by research councils and international organisations.

Our vibrant research community organises a rich and regular series of external and internal seminar presentations throughout the year.

As a PhD student you will have the opportunity to present your research to colleagues in an informal and encouraging setting.

The Economics groups offer supervision across the broad range of microeconomics and macroeconomics, and have many doctoral students in these areas.

A 2:1 honours degree and a merit award at master's level, or international equivalent, in a relevant subject.
