2006:Summary

this report provides a summary of research and related activities in the School of economics in 2006.

graduate experiences (ceQ) in 2006 (for 2005 graduates), once again, placed the School clearly first in the Australian Group of eight research intensive universities in terms of overall satisfaction amongst graduates who were awarded a degree in the field of economics.

of course, all the credit for these achievements lies with our outstanding academic and administrative staff.

in 2006, the School of economics, once again, performed outstandingly on all fronts.

the publication list of the School is long and extensive and includes articles in a range of premier academic journals. it was a very successful year with regard to winning highly competitive Arc research funding: $464,710 was won which is the highest on record for the School. nine academic staff were involved as chief investigators in one or more new or ongoing Arc grant funded projects. in all, there were 18 research projects funded by external research grants in the School.

the School continued to be a major provider of research training in economics. in 2006, there were seventy research higher degree students enrolled which was the full time equivalent number of 38.18, up from 36.64 in 2005. five graduate with a phD and one with an mphil degree. Some staff were associate supervisors of a number of phD students in other uQ Schools.

research and teaching are highly complementary activities. in 2006, well over 100 courses were offered by the School at all levels. this was the most comprehensive and diverse range of economics courses offered in Australia in that year. the main national survey of


mission Statement

Research Objectives

• Todevelopresearchcapabilitiesacrossthe broad range of economics of particular benefit to Queensland and Australia.
