Macroeconomics

Lead: Dr Richard Suen

The ULSB Macroeconomics Research Group is a diverse group of scholars with strong commitment to research. Our members have a well-established record of publishing both theoretical and quantitative studies in high quality international journals. Our research covers a wide range of topics, such as economic growth, income and wealth inequality, international trade and innovation, social and cultural aspects of economic development, search and matching in the labour market, unemployment insurance and household economics. The purpose of the research group is to foster a vibrant research culture and to provide support to junior colleagues.
