Research Overview

The Department is constantly strengthening its research capacity and builds on its reputation for excellence. Every member of staff is research-active as most of us are involved in wider research networks around the world. We are engaged in local as well as international consultancies which are used to design relevant policies for governmental bodies. Our research areas are diverse ranging from economic development, poverty, labour market, international trade, governance, financial economics, green economy, public sector policy, climate change to gender issues (please refer to page on Research Areas). Our work is also growing ever more interdisciplinary in scope, reach and significance. We are also involved in carrying out applied and theoretical investigations that are published in international refereed journals.
