Education/Training

The RES aims to support teaching and learning in Economics in schools and universities:

• For schools and school students, the Society organises the Annual Public Lecture and the Young Economist of the Year Essay Competition.
• For undergraduate students and their departments, the Society supports the Economics Network.
• For postgraduate and post-doctoral students, there is a variety of activities and sources of support.

The RES is also keen to promote data, reports, articles, training workshops, summer schools etc organised by other organisations. Below is a list of links to training events we are aware of:

• The Bank of England would like to raise awareness of articles from their Quarterly Bulletin as potential teaching resources for undergraduate / Masters-level economics and finance courses. Bulletin articles explore topics relating to the economy and economic policy. They are intended to be as succinct and avoid the use jargon where possible while explaining the underlying economics in a reasonable amount of depth. Further information is available from publications@bankofengland.co.uk.
• CEMMAP: The Centre for Microdata Methods and Practice, an ESRC Research Centre. For more details go to http://www.cemmap.ac.uk/
• Timberlake training courses in statistics and econometrics. For more details go to http://www.timberlake.co.uk/home
