At the University of Hull I was editor for two issues of a magazine on current economic issues and the research of the economics group. The articles are written by members of the economics group, and are at a level appropriate for students taking economics at a highschool level (e.g. A-level in the UK) and for a general audience.
Issue 1 / November 2013
The first three articles of this issue focus on inequality: its relationship with corruption, the standard measures of inequality, and the effects of UK fiscal policy on inequality. This issue also looks at a possible resolution of the puzzle of why capital does not flow to developing countries, contrary to the predictions of classical economic models. Finally, we look at the incentives for firms to inform consumers about their product through advertising.
Issue 2 / July 2015
The first article presents the results of research investigating local protectionism in the Chinese pharmaceutical industry. There are also articles summarizing research into the impact of credit ratings announcements on the stock market, and research on the convergence of the income of poorer countries and richer countries. The final article explores how market frictions can explain the observation that different stores often sell the same product at different prices.
