Anglo-German Foundation grant awarded to ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº Economics

18 May 2006

¹û¶³Ó°Ôº Economics has secured a large grant from the Anglo-German Foundation (AGF) to finance a research programme designed to explore issues surrounding sustainable growth in Europe.


'The Economics and Politics of Employment, Migration and Social Justice', is directed by Professor Christian Dustmann (¹û¶³Ó°Ôº Economics), and co-directed by Professor Steven Machin (¹û¶³Ó°Ôº Economics) and David Soskice, of the London School of Economics. The programme was one of 84 initial proposals entered for consideration by the AGF. Four winning entries share funding worth £3m, given by the foundation as part of its 'Creating Sustainable Growth in Europe' initiative.

Professor Dustmann said: "The programme will initiate research in a very important and topical area, with focus on two of Europe's largest economies, Germany and the UK. It brings together researchers from both countries, and will provide a serious and innovative comparative political and economic analysis. We are very pleased to have been successful with our application."
