Research

Internationally-renowned expertise

Research, both at the University of Reading and within the School of Economics, is at the heart all academic activities and feeds directly into our teaching at every level. Reading is a world-ranked university (The Times) and is consistently rated among the UK's most research intensive institutions.

We are home to some of the world's finest research-led academics, each widely published in their respective field. Our wide-ranging expertise spans areas including econometrics, emerging markets, international business, development economics, housing economics, macro and microeconomics.

Collaborative research in Economics

Our research and related activities are organised in and across six internationally-renowned research centres. Each centre organises a calendar of events, ranging from weekly seminar series to annual international conferences.

We offer a leading range of PhD opportunities and provide an outstanding environment conducive to the production of first-class research.

In addition, our academic staff work closely with multinational organisations, governments and international agencies to undertake funded and collaborative research projects.
