Course summary

The Economic Policy and Political Economy MPhil/PhD explores the interaction between the state and the market, focussing on the role of public policy in shaping economic outcomes. This interdisciplinary course supports students to critically examine the role of the state, in tackling contemporary economic challenges-from inequality to climate transition-through research grounded in real-world impact. The Economic Policy and Political Economy MPhil/PhD at the UCL Institute for Innovation and Public Purpose is centred on fostering path-breaking research into ways to understand public value and public purpose and enhance public and economic policy. This PhD is for students who are interested in exploring the relationship between states and markets and the economic challenges facing modern capitalist economies. Our faculty and wider research community have a broad range of research interests in this field, covering both theoretical and more applied topic areas. This includes development economics and structural change, decolonisation economics, financial and macroeconomic policy, banking and money, political economy of science and technology, the economics of innovation and intellectual and digital monopolies, ecological economics and green transition, sustainable finance, institutional and evolutionary economics and the economics of land and housing. If you have a research idea in one of these areas, Economic Policy and Political Economy MPhil/PhD could be the right PhD for you. This PhD in Economic Policy and Political Economy will appeal to students interested in contributing new knowledge to areas of economic policy and who have some background in either political economy, economics or economic policy. Applicants should be highly self-motivated, have a master’s degree and a passionate interest in a topic relevant to the Institute's research areas (see section on ‘Research areas and structure’ below), and some experience of independent research.
