Economics at Southampton is a young group which prides itself on its vibrant and collegial environment, within which it carries out rigorous research with international impact. 80% of senior members are under 45; over half of our members are engaged in joint work with others in the group. We aim to do high quality research that is original, relevant within the discipline or to policy-makers, in an environment that is exciting, enjoyable and challenging.
In line with our international composition (there are 17 different nationalities in the group), our members are active in disseminating research world-wide, being heavily involved in presenting in seminars, conferences and policy institutions throughout the UK, Europe and North America. Our work is disseminated further through our interactions with external—commercial, government, and non-governmental—bodies.
We are dedicated to high quality postgraduate teaching and research training, and to expanding the quality and number of postgraduate students. We have a thriving postgraduate school, attracting a wide range of students from diverse backgrounds, and we have an established record of postgraduate supervision for research. Our excellence in postgraduate research training has been acknowledged by the ESRC, which has granted us mode A recognition.
There are three main research groups in our Division. They are described briefly below.
Information economics
We have a long-standing reputation in microeconomics, both theory and applied. Our research in this area is centred on the economics of information, analysing the drivers and effects of information and innovation on economic performance. The associated research group is the Centre for Research on the Information Economy (CRIE ).
Productivity, policy and macroeconomic performance
We now have one of the largest groups of macroeconomists in the UK. Members of this research group focus on a range of theoretical and empirical topics that contribute to our understanding of how productivity is determined; how it is related to macroeconomic performance; and how it is affected by economic policies and institutions.
Econometric methods
Since the founding of the Department of Econometrics in 1965, the University of Southampton has been renowned for its econometrics research. The group has two core strengths: econometric and statistical theory; and the development of state-of-the-art empirical techniques to analyse issues relating to labour markets and economic development.
