Economics has four research clusters

The broad range of interests in this cluster lends itself to overlapping research that aids the research ethic within the department.
* Environmental Economics – The department has an internationally renowned team of environmental economists who publish regularly and have attracted a number of research grants from the European Commission. Professor Anil Markandya was a lead author for the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2007.
* Macroeconomics – Research focuses on time series analysis of macroeconomic variables and the construction of small scale macroeconomic models. The cluster has produced high quality peer reviewed articles in macroeconomic-behavioural models, the relationship between stock market prices and exchange rates, and inflation rate targeting. Other areas of interest:- Credit default swaps, yield curves.
* Development Economics - Development economics is the field of economics dedicated to understanding long-term structural change of economies and their effect on human wellbeing. It is concerned particularly with the persistence of global poverty and inequality, and what can be done to reduce it, both within countries and through changes to the global economic system. Also concerned with aid effectiveness and corruption.
