Social Macroeconomics PhD Scheme and Scholarship

About the Social Macroeconomics PhD scheme

The UCL Institute for Global Prosperity's new PhD scheme in Social Macroeconomics aims to advance research on new approaches to the economy and the development of a new economic paradigm. The Institute for Global Prosperity (IGP) based at UCL and the Global Solutions Initiative (GSI) are interdisciplinary organisations committed to achieving shared prosperity for people and planet in the 21st century. Rebuilding Macroeconomics (RM) is a research network within the Institute for Global Prosperity which aims to make macroeconomics relevant to meet these challenges.

This scheme is part of the Institute's Global Prosperity MPhil/PhD programme. Joining our programme allows you to become part of a community of exceptional people striving to think bigger, challenge conventional orthodoxy and engage in exciting and thought-provoking research.

As part of this new scheme, you will have the opportunity to work and support research on various key themes which will also be linked to a new hub on Social Macroeconomics. We interpret the macroeconomy as a system to create and use knowledge in the context of fundamental uncertainty.
