Economics

Economics is a discipline that encompasses individual, firm and country-level interactions that drive our integrated economic systems.

Economics at Newcastle

Established in the early 1900s our vibrant department consists of over 30 academics researching across all main applied and theoretical areas of modern micro-, macro- and quantitative economics. We are currently headed by the Sir David Dale Chair of Economics, Professor John Sessions.

Our research

Our faculty is shaping current economic debates by engaging with policymakers and practitioners. Our research encompasses worldwide collaborations and is being published in top journals.

Our Newcastle Economics Discussion Paper series showcases some of our recent research outputs.

We host an international PhD student community. If you’re interested in pursuing a PhD, explore the Economics faculty staff page for potential supervisors and their research interests, or visit the scholarships page for funding opportunities.
