Research in the School
is of a high calibre by both national and international standards.
The School ranks either first, second or third within Australia
on a variety of research performance criteria and academic
staff play an important part in the policy issues and debate
within Australia. The School frequently has important national conferences
in economics, econometrics, economic history and superannuation
and has an active seminar series program and a program of one-day
workshops. Many of the members of the School play a prominent role
in relevant societies and provide senior advisory roles to government
and business. The School also attracts considerable research funding
from the Australian Research Council and other bodies.
The School runs Conferences
and Seminar series throughout the year covering a wide range of
research topics.
The Doctor of Philosophy

Centre for Pensions and
Superannuation
Founded in 2002 the Centre
for Pensions and Superannuation (CPS) brings together a number
of pension specialists whose core interests lie in the fields of
public and labour economics, finance, and actuarial studies.
Centre for Energy and Environmental Markets
Founded in 2004 the Centre for Energy and Environmental Markets (CEEM) brings together researchers in UNSW and partner organisations with the key objective of providing Australian research leadership in the interdisciplinary design, analysis and performance monitoring of energy and environmental markets and their associated policy frameworks.
Australian Institute for Population Ageing Research
The Australian Institute for Population Ageing Research (AIPAR) as a UNSW Research Institute is to capitalise on the strong interest and commitment by UNSW researchers and potential private and public sector, which has been reinforced through the recent NHMRC/ARC and ARC Linkage Grant successes. Operating as a funded network, AIPAR will draw together multi disciplinary teams of population ageing researchers. It is anticipated that AIPAR will generate considerable growth in UNSW research outcomes and lead to a successful application for Centre of Excellence funding within the next three years.
