Economics and economic policy research
Since 1972, Birkbeck has conducted cutting-edge, policy-relevant research in all major areas of economics, both for its own sake and to inform our teaching.
We hire new academic staff based on their research quality in the global academic job market, and follow global norms in our publication and research dissemination policies. We work on and have leading expertise in all three major areas in economics: macroeconomics, microeconomics and econometrics.
All theme members are affiliated with our centre, the Birkbeck Centre for Applied Macroeconomics (BCAM).
In conjunction with our research expertise, BCAM supports individual researchers and economic policy circles. In doing so, it helps raise the visibility of our research and contribute to current economic debates in the public sphere.
