The world we live in is changing quickly and in a context of increasing uncertainty. One bad economic decision can have dire consequences for the welfare of a country, lead to the expulsion of a company from a market or condemn a family to an unpayable debt. Understanding the complexity of the economic situation is essential for improving our comprehension of the world that surrounds us.

 

  • Why do some countries’ economies, grow generating welfare gains for their citizens, while others fail?

  • Which economic policies generate more inequality? Or less?

  • Does the economy determine an election result or is it the election result that determines economic policies?

  • What is the economic cost of corruption?

  • How is it possible to reduce poverty?

  • Is globalisation a good thing?

  • Do financial markets need better regulation?

  • What causes discrimination between men and women?

  • Is it possible to reduce the greenhouse effect?

None of these questions can be answered without rigorous economic analysis or without having the quantitative tools needed to carry out such an analysis.
