Economics

We investigate a diverse range of topics including: the effect of government climate change policies on business; the contribution of knowledge assets to economic growth; determining fairness and value in the telecommunications industry; and how to improve the quality of service in the public sector. We have a particular focus in health economics and policy, studying incentives for individuals and health organisations. Our projects engage a range of different industries as well as researchers from across Imperial College London.
