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.<br/><br/>We welcome research proposals in applied economics in areas such as:<br/><br/><br/>- international trade and trade policy<br/><br/><br/>- poverty and development<br/><br/><br/>- labour, health and education<br/><br/><br/>- environment and energy<br/><br/><br/>- quantitative economic history.<br/><br/><br/>- economic theory, behaviour and experiments <br/>
