Our research activities examine important problems relating to the interaction between politics and economics, at both national and international levels. Our research examines the relationship between markets and management, and the effects of institutions and special-interest groups on a wide range of issues, including risk, trade, exchange rates and monetary policy, as well as climate policy.
