          Expertise
        
      
      
        The University has considerable expertise in many
      
      
        aspects of macro- and micro economics, including
      
      
        macroeconomic policy, competition and regulation,
      
      
        international economics and international and regional
      
      
        development. Our strength in economic modelling allows
      
      
        us to develop economic forecasting methodologies and
      
      
        tools to further our understanding of econometrics.
      
      
        We have provided consultancy services on a range of
      
      
        issues including economic regulation, development
      
      
        strategies and the use of economic incentives to
      
      
        influence behaviour.
      
      
        We also have a research capacity focused on finance
      
      
        which explores the operation of national and international
      
      
        financial markets, financial risk and risk management,
      
      
        insolvency, venture capital and behavioural finance.
      
      
        Our experts have advised the central banks, including
      
      
        the Bank of England, on liquidity measures and
      
      
        monetary policy.
      
      
        In the area of accounting we have a broad experience of
      
      
        all aspects of financial and management accounting, as
      
      
        well as corporate governance. We specialise in studying
      
      
        regional and international development, particularly with
      
      
        respect to microfinance and industrial clusters.
      
      
        The Health Economics Unit explores the interplay between
      
      
        economics and health. It has provided many economic
      
      
        evaluations of health policy proposals and changes, as
      
      
        well as evaluations of new procedures.
