Course content

Economics research at Sussex is aimed at improving people’s lives, both locally and globally. Most of our research is applied and policy-oriented. It draws on the latest empirical and experimental methods. We tackle problems that are challenging for policy-makers, and we also contribute to key academic debate.

Areas of Study

We welcome research proposals in applied economics in areas such as:

• international trade and trade policy
• poverty and development
• labour, health and education
• environment and energy
• quantitative economic history
• economic theory, behaviour and experiments.
