Giving to Economics

Oxford’s Department of Economics is one of Europe’s leading research departments; its members include some of the world’s most distinguished academic economists, whose research has made major contributions to modern economic analysis. Six Nobel Prize winners in Economics – Sir John Hicks, Lawrence Klein, Sir James Meade, Sir James Mirrlees, Amartya Sen and Joe Stiglitz – are former members of the department, and the current faculty includes 14 Fellows of the British Academy. The Department is home to the world's leading research centre for the study of African economies (CSAE), and to the Oxford Centre for the Analysis of Resource-Rich Economies.

The Department is seeking funding for the following priorities:

It is the Department’s ambition to provide all outstanding young scholars who apply with the financial support necessary for them to complete their doctoral studies at Oxford. A postgraduate student requires £29,000 per year for fees and maintenance, and all contributions to our Doctoral Scholarship Scheme, of whatever magnitude, are warmly appreciated.
The Department’s Post-doctoral Fellowship Scheme offers the next generation of academic economists an opportunity to establish their careers within a first class research institution, with mentoring and support from eminent scholars in their chosen field. Many of our Post-doctoral Fellows have progressed to permanent positions in top-ranked economics departments across the world including Cambridge, Harvard, LSE and Stockholm.
If we are to maintain Oxford’s position at the forefront of economics research and provide research leadership for the next generation of economists then it is essential that we recruit and retain senior faculty of the highest calibre. Financial support for senior appointments plays a vital role in enabling Oxford to compete in a challenging global market, and we ask anyone who is interested in assisting to contact Alison Parker.
Gifts will be used to support the research and teaching of the Department.
