Business and economics research discussion papers

Our discussion papers are written by economics and finance researchers in the College of Business and Economics, often in collaboration with our partners in academia and industry around the world.

The papers are usually early versions of articles that will go on to be submitted to top tier academic journals. We provide the papers here to give access to our latest research findings early and to make them accessible to as wide an audience as possible. The papers are mirrored on the Research Papers in Economics (RePEc) service. We invite you to explore the papers and to get in touch with the corresponding author if you are interested in discussing any particular topic further.
