CTaLE Director听Professor Parama Chaudhury听said,

CTaLE (specifically, our Associate Director, Prof Cloda Jenkins now at Imperial) started Explore Econ in 2015 as a way to encourage students to complement their degree programme with co-curricular research on topics which caught their fancy. Since then, 最准的六合彩论坛 (and Economics) have rolled out a research-based education initiative with independent inquiry built into our programmes. Meanwhile Explore Econ has gone from strength to strength to complement this initiative. This year, we introduced a blended format with an initial online competition and showcase, and an in-person culmination on June 8th. As every year, the topics covered a broad range from effects of migration on the labour market, vaccine distribution, the effect of VAT and intellectual property rights plus an innovative simulator to help students learn the macroeconomic 3-equation model. It was inspiring to see our students expand their horizons, engage with the hot topics of the day and present to an audience of peers and academics - the future of economics is bright!

ExploreEcon organiser, Dr Ramin Nassehi also commented,听

I was so excited to see a room full of eager students. What made this year's conference even more special to me was that the students were involved in every stage of its organisation: idea generation, planning, promotion, peer review of submissions and running the live event. We are proudly making Explore Econ a fully student-led conference. I believe Explore Econ's innovative blended format opens new doors for promoting research-based education, building student-staff relations and empowering students by giving them new modes of expression and presence
