The Sector, Economic and Financial Studies research group invites PhD candidates to explore how alternative financial organizations—including credit unions and community development finance institutions (CDFIs)—are influencing responsible finance in the UK. We also encourage research proposals examining financial service perceptions, especially among younger individuals, to boost pension participation. Additionally, we seek applications involving panel data econometric studies on how intellectual property rights (IPRs) affect foreign direct investment (FDI).
We welcome proposals for these projects:
