Manchester Centre for Economic Policy

About our research

The Manchester Centre for Economic Policy encompasses research on economic policy, and research which contributes to economic policy.

Our research draws upon insights from a range of fields, including political economy, political science, public policy, applied economics, heterodox/pluralist economics, and geography.

The centre seeks to ask the big questions about capitalism and the state at the local, national and international levels, investigating issues such as:

inequality
climate change
Brexit
economic stagnation
financialisation
political cleavages and disaffection

We also work with partner organisations and policymakers to design and share solutions to these challenges.

Our members include world-leading scholars of economic policy, as well as colleagues with vast experience as policy practitioners.
