The University of Oxford's Department of Economics is home to one of the largest and most diverse groups of academic economists in Europe. Our members come from all over the world, and range from early-career researchers and lecturers to well established, and highly respected permanent faculty. We currently have a permanent faculty of 50, including 10 statutory (established) professors, and more than 30 early career researchers who are on fixed-term appointments of 3 or 4 years.
The research activity of the Department is broad-based, and we aim to produce first-class research outcomes across a range of areas, rather than specialising in particular sub-fields. Academics work within small and focused research groups, which provide an active and supportive environment for Department members to facilitate the development of high-quality research. Each group is convened by a senior member of the Department who is responsible for coordinating group activities, including regular workshops and seminars.
The Department of Economics also has close ties with a number of different Oxford colleges, where our faculty can engage in educational, social and research-based activities alongside colleagues from a range of different disciplines. Currently, we have faculty members affiliated with the following colleges:
RESEARCH STRENGTHS
As one of Europe's leading research departments, our members include some of the world's most distinguished academic economists. In the most recent UK Research Assessment, REF 2014, Oxford was ranked top in terms of overall research strength, with more research output graded as world-leading in terms of its originality, rigour and significance than did any other economics department in the United Kingdom.
