Universal Basic Income: a panacea for society's ills?
type: Article
title: Universal Basic Income: a panacea for society's ills?
description: Browse our job listings for more opportunities Its popularity has risen in correlation with the increasing economic inequality that is now endemic across Europe, and whose spread, political tinkering has done little to inhibit. For their failure to address this widening gulf, centrist parties of the left and right have been punished at the polls, and politics has polarised. Electorates and experts, alike, have begun casting their eyes further afield for something more radical, something more transformative to address the crises in which societies are mired. Many have alighted on UBI as one such solution. But what exactly is Universal Basic Income? And what do its proponents say about it? UBI is cash payment delivered, periodically, to all individuals, without means testing, and regardless of employment status. The income is considered a right, and there are no restrictions placed on what it can be used for. There also exist variants on UBI, differentiated by those who are entitled to receive payment, called, simply, a Basic Income (BI) - context, generally, dictating the restriction. The following is a contemplation on the potential of such policies. Offsets technology-induced and stressful state of unemployment As technology advances with ever-growing rapidity more and more jobs are being lost to robots and algorithms. People entering the workforce now, unlike previous generations, are told to expect multiple career changes in their lives, and to brace themselves for periods of unemployment or low income whilst in between professions. For some, this reality is already being felt, and it's not a pleasant one. There is much research that shows enforced profession change, as will soon be completely mundane, can be psychologically very damaging. An issue compounded by the financial scarcity that is often its by-product. UBI would ease this stressful transition, allowing the jobless to get back to their feet while retaining their dignity, find suitable new work or train…
disambiguating description: As a policy, support for Universal Basic Income (UBI) flouts traditional political and social lines, making unlikely bedfellows of those on both the right and left wing. Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg, free-market evangelist Milton Friedman, and firebrand economist Yanis Varoufakis all count among its high profile, and rather disparate, champions. With the help of their advocacy the initiative has entered into mainstream consciousness, and widespread political discussion of its implementation, in contrast to a few years ago, is now readily had. Gone are the days in which UBI was simply dismissed as an unattainable utopian concept.

No Deal Brexit and the Effect on Europe
type: Article
title: No Deal Brexit and the Effect on Europe
description: Economists are almost unanimous in their assessment that in this scenario the British economy would take a battering, and possibly slip into recession. Projections make for dismal reading and include a GDP depreciation of 9%, a drastic fall in house prices and a possible run on the pound. For most this is nothing new. Ardent remainers remind us of these forecasts on a daily basis, appearing to revel in the delivery of such gloomy predictions - project fear showing it has legs yet. Less, on the other hand, tends to be said of the damaging effects a ‘disorderly exit’ would have on the 27 remaining EU member states. Indeed, for those countries with high levels of integration with the UK economy, these effects could be severe. Ireland, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Germany stand out among those most at risk. Below we take a closer look at what each country can expect if, come March 31st, Britain leaves the EU with no withdrawal agreement in place, and reverts to WTO tariffs to regulate its trade. Ireland Worst affected of the EU27 countries is likely to be Ireland because of the highly integrated nature of the Irish and UK economies. Annually, Irelands’ trade with the UK is worth an estimated €65 billion, and sustains over 400,000 jobs on both islands. For this reason, the imposition of steep WTO tariffs on this trade; the huge increase in customs paperwork; and the risk of long delays on goods and shipments to and from the European mainland has got Irish businesses frantically preparing for the worst. And their fears seem to arranted. Only recently, the IMF predicted that Dublin would suffer a 4% hit to its GDP. Mainly, this is because two of the country’s top exports – meat and dairy products – would face some of the highest tariffs, as per WTO instruction. The price increase would be absorbed by the consumer and massively reduce the products’ competitiveness, meaning profits would tumble and businesses falter. Commenting on the consequences of no deal, Governor of th…
disambiguating description: The Brexit clock is now deafening, and the British political and media establishments seem utterly consumed by its inexorable ticking. In the public realm, little else is considered, even less discussed. And yet, despite this obsession, with just 42 days before Britain departs the European Union, negotiations for a withdrawal agreement remain in deadlock, and the hopes of breakthrough seem to be fading. At the core of the dispute is the Irish backstop and, by proxy, participation in a customs union. On both, neither the Conservatives nor Labour appears capable of sincere compromise, favouring, instead, a game of high-risk brinksmanship. The stakes: the future of the country. By using the approaching deadline as leverage, aimed to cow opposition, Prime Minister Theresa May is gambling, big. And at the point of writing, it's unclear who will hold their nerve. Without concessions being made, Britain will crash out of the EU with no deal, with World Trade Organisation (WTO) tariffs beckoning.

No Deal Brexit and the Threat to Developing Countries
type: Article
title: No Deal Brexit and the Threat to Developing Countries
description: Chances of a Brexit deal fade Prime Minister Theresa May continues, with almost admirable obstinacy, to defy political convention, staggering on apparently blind to the repeated failures of her ailing administration. Her political capital on this issue has long been exhausted, a fact hammered home by the record-breaking rejection of her withdrawal agreement in Parliament – the last in a long series of nails in her coffin. It now seems highly unlikely that a May-led government could get any kind of Brexit deal through Parliament, such is her tarnished reputation. And for this reason, the dreaded 'no deal' edges closer, simply because anything else seems so improbable. Everything But Arms Developing countries have been watching this process as one would a slow-motion car crash: with a mixture of terror, powerlessness, and morbid fascination. Their concern revolves around the Everything But Arms (EBA) agreement, which currently permits the 49 Least Developed Countries to export to the European Union, duty and quota-free, with the exception - as the name indicates - of armaments. The initiative came into force in 2001 with the aim to encourage the development of the world’s poorest economies. Since its inception, it has been widely commended for ‘levelling of the playing field’. The simulations don't look good Brexit, however, threatens its practice. In both hard exit and a 'no deal' scenarios these vulnerable states would be denied access to the UK market through EBA, and the consequences, in some cases, could be dire. Simulations run by the German Development Institute (GDI), published earlier this month, have shown the impact various forms of Brexit would have on countries outside of Europe. In its results, Cambodia is forecast to take the 'heaviest blow'. At present, it sends 7.7% of its exports – mostly garments and footwear - to the UK. Kristen Hopewell, a lecturer at Edinburgh University, predicts that in the case of no deal and a reversion to World Trade Organis…
disambiguating description: In the cacophony of the Brexit debate the names Phnom Penh, Dhaka and Addis Ababa, if ever spoken, are rarely heard. And yet, with the March deadline looming on the not-too-distant horizon, and little, if anything, seemingly agreed upon, it is they who stand to be most affected, particularly if a no deal comes to pass. And things in that regard are not looking good.

No Deal Brexit and the Threat to UK Universities
type: Article
title: No Deal Brexit and the Threat to UK Universities
description: The threat to universities Last week it was the turn of the universities to express their horror at a possibility of a ‘no deal’. An open letter from five higher education groups, including the Russell Group and University Alliance, described its consequences, unequivocally, as the ‘biggest threat’ UK universities have ever faced. As of January 2019, the bodies collectively represented 50,000 EU staff and 130,000 EU students in the UK, along with 15,000 UK students studying on the continent - all, they stressed, now face a future fraught with uncertainty. For some institutions, the threat posed is an existential one. With the number of EU students predicted to fall as much as 60%, and a potential loss of an estimated €1.3bn of European Research Funding, certain universities could be forced to seek government bailouts to stay open. In such a scenario, the government's response remains uncertain, the current signs, though, look far from positive. Just two months ago, the Office for Students (OfS) declared that universities that were not financially sustainable would not be bailed out. Evidently, the mantra ‘too big to fail’, a favourite of the banks, doesn’t seem to apply to educational institutions. Failing finances These predictions, too, come at a time when British universities are already feeling the pinch. Earlier this year regulators warned that many stood on ‘the brink of a credit crunch’, having embarked on ill-advised borrowing sprees designed to boost student intake. The sector’s debt is reported to have risen to £10.8 billion, more than three times what it was prior to the financial crash. And now the fear is that ‘no deal Brexit’ will be like dousing an already dangerous looking fire with a can of petrol, while simultaneously knowing that the fire service is on strike. To make matters even worse, university closure, if it does happen, is likely to be regionally uneven and will help exacerbate existing inequality. As Vice Chancellor of Buckingham University…
disambiguating description: With every passing day - and they seem to be whizzing by now – the likelihood of the UK leaving the EU without a deal, known as a ‘no deal Brexit’, is increasing. For the large majority, the prospect of this is nightmarish. In the event, it is widely understood that there would be a number of inevitabilities: the economy would slump, possibly crash; many businesses would flee, and with them whatever tax receipts they hadn’t yet evaded; and the Tory hard right would sit back and revel. That only a handful of MPs and a slither of the broader population actually desire this, testifies to the failure of parliament, and more so, the failure of government in dealing with the negotiations. For two years, it has concerned itself with little else, shelving manifesto pledges to deliver the country here, to the now. And the situation, to put it lightly, is a shambles.

The Economics of Match Betting
type: Article
title: The Economics of Match Betting
description: Looking for a graduate program to continue your studies? Check out our program listings. Odds and the efficient market hypothesis If you go to make a bet on a particular sporting outcome, the bookmaker will offer you odds: that is, their figure for how much they will pay out if you win the bet, based on their estimation of the probability of you winning. For an event that is highly likely, you will get odds that pay out very little, but for an unexpected turn of events, you would be paid more. Setting these odds is one of the most important jobs of a bookmaker, as the odds that they offer must be realistic enough to draw in betters but not too generous that the bookmaker risks losing money. The economics comes in when we consider the efficient market hypothesis, which states that markets will natural organise themselves into the most efficient form, so that the price of any goods or services are inherently linked to the worth of those goods or services. This assumption is pervasive throughout economics theory, and if it held for sports betting then we would expect that the odds offered by a bookmaker represented the exact odds of that event occurring. However, this is clearly not the case as if it was, neither bookmakers nor gamblers would ever make a long-term profit. Instead, both bookmakers and betters are driven by psychological forces, such as peer pressure – feeling that you ought to make a bet because everyone else is doing so – and the sunk cost fallacy – when you know your faith in a certain team is misplaced but you keep betting on them anyway because you don't want to confront the fact you were wrong about their skills. These are examples of a recent approach to economics, behavioural economics, which has been championed by Richard Thaler and others and which seeks to bring together insights from both economics and psychology. The costs and benefits of gambling Another feature of gambling noted by both economists and psychologists is the individual differ…
disambiguating description: One area of life that is greatly influenced by economics but you might not think of as a typical economics topic is sports and match betting. Gambling on sporting events is a huge international multimillion dollar industry covering gambling from traditional betting events like dog or horse races to modern betting outfits that let you place bets on everything from how many goals will be scored in a given match to which players will be picked for a draft. As betting on sports events is essentially an exercise in modelling and probability, we can use the lens of economics to understand more about how match betting works.

Can Economics Ever Be Ethical?
type: Article
title: Can Economics Ever Be Ethical?
description: Looking for a job in economics? Check out our job listings. On first view, economics and ethics appear incompatible Economics is based primarily on the view of people as rational actors, who will make predictable decisions to optimise their own well being. Rational choice theory states that an agent can be said to be acting rationally if they have rational preferences and they choose the option which is preferential to them compared to the alternatives. Under this understanding, the key factor that economics attempts to optimise is preference satisfaction. Inherent in this approach is the assumption that human well being is served best by allowing people to choose whatever will satisfy their individual preferences best. However, there are clearly limitations to this view. Someone might have preferences which are detrimental to their well being, such as a belief that a pseudoscientific treatment will improve their health and a preference towards that treatment over conventional medicine when they fall ill. A totally free market for healthcare with no restrictions on misleading advertising and no requirement to base treatments on evidence might satisfy individual preferences, but it would be hard to argue that it would benefit human well being when it would cause more people to become sick and die. On the other hand, economists might argue that preference satisfaction is valuable not because it promotes human well being, but because it is a method for optimising the efficient sharing of resources. Under this view, ethics is not within the realm of economics, as the two are totally different frameworks for approaching the world. Market forces require companies to consider ethical values The problem of differentiating economics from ethics in this way is that ethical concerns do have a marked impact on economical issues. It may be most efficient, for example, for a business to employ children. Children cost less in wages than adults and they can perform tasks such as sq…

This might sound like a strange question to an economist who focuses on collecting data, analysing it, and using that data to make predictions. What ethical considerations could be raised here? What do abstract theories of ethics have to do with cold, hard economic facts? Today we'll look at some of the ways that economics interacts with the topic of ethics.

title: 4 Ways Economists Can Market Their Research Projects
description: If you're looking for an event to attend this year, check out our conference listings. That doesn’t mean you have to act like a sleazy used car salesman. All you really need is a bit of networking; identify some opportunities to make connections and be socially active in your community. Here are just a few ideas to get you started. Hold a seminar at a university Colleges and universities often host seminars, which make for one of the most ideal settings in which to present your research to an engaged audience. Seminar audiences tend to be genuinely interested in and enthusiastic about the subject matter being discussed, which means you’re much more likely to get a positive response—and for your research to gets some great word of mouth promotion. Remember to keep your audience and the ultimate purpose of the seminar in mind when developing your presentation. You’re not necessarily sharing every single piece of data you’ve gathered, only the information and conclusions that are most relevant to the point you’re making. This may go without saying, but you also need to make sure your presentation is interesting to watch and listen to - even if the subject matter is already something your audience wants to hear about. Simply reading from a piece of paper isn’t very engaging, no matter what it is you’re saying. Step things up and supply your audience members with supplementary visual aids and other materials that they can take home, organized inside of professionally printed presentation folders. If you’re unsure where to find the right packaging, Company Folders, Inc. comes strongly recommended for their extensive selection. This makes it easy to find a style that will stand out in a crowd - and make your presentation that much more distinctive. Speak at a conference You can present your research at a conference in much the same way you would a seminar. A conference can be academia-related, but many conferences are tailored more towards industry professionals, such as e…

How to Find and Avoid Predatory Publishers

title: How to Find and Avoid Predatory Publishers
description: Predatory publishers have been known to be a problem in academia for some time, but this new investigation sheds light on just how many of these dubious companies exist and the extent to which they are promoting junk science and extracting money from unsuspecting researchers. Open access publishing – that is, a system whereby authors pay a fee to a journal to make their research publicly available for anyone to read, for free – has become more and more common in the last years. There are advantages to such an open access system for researchers, students and the public. However, there are also potential problems in the publication process which are magnified by open access. While there are many well-respected open access journals (like PLoS One, for example), some open access journals are damaging to authors and to the publishing system and should be avoided. Download the Conference Monkey Directory - 6 Month Conference List What are predatory publishers? Unfortunately, with the rise of open access publishing, there has also been a rise in exploitative low-quality journals which charge large fees to authors to publish their work but do not provide a rigorous review and publication process. Known as predatory publishers, these organisations accept almost any paper that is submitted to them, but do not provide adequate editorial oversight to ensure that the information presented is accurate and peer-reviewed. They also commonly hide the fact that they will be charging fees until after a paper is accepted, at which point the author is confronted with a large cost demand. Therefore, publications in these predatory journals are not respected, and authors can end up paying thousands of Euros for a worthless publication. Given the intense pressure on researchers to publish their work regularly for career advancement, it is important to be able to identify these predatory journals so that they cannot exploit newer early-career researchers or researchers from developing count…

How Economics Changed the World
type: Article
title: How Economics Changed the World
description: An early step: the introduction of coinage In order to have a concept of economics, first, there must be a concept of money as an object in and of itself, with money existing independently of trading through barter. During the 6th century BC, precious metals were used in bars or bullion for trade, measured by weight. Most scholars agree that the Lyndians, a people from an area called Anatolia which is now Turkey, were the earliest to use coins. They first minted coins around 600 BC, although these early coins were of such high value that they would be used for saving and to pay for rare large expenditures rather than everyday expenses. As trade between peoples promoted the concept of the coin, it was adopted by the ancient Greeks and Romans, and from there the idea spread throughout Europe and beyond. The coin was easily transportable and became one of the earliest pieces of shared understanding between different cultures, allowing trade between unknown parties on a scale which had been impossible before. The beginning of modern economics: trade between nations The widespread adoption of coinage facilitated trade at an unprecedented level during the ancient Greek and Roman eras. Large-scale trade between nations arguably began with the empire of Alexander the Great in 300 BC, who ruled Macedonia and expanded his reach through Asia and Africa to create one of the largest empires in this period of history. This empire created a shared economic and cultural understanding between nations that were hundreds of miles away from each other. Following this period, the Greeks remained in Central Asia from 250 BC to 10CE, opening up a trade route between the East and West known as the Silk Road. Along this established route, people could trade goods more easily and smoothly than ever before, which allowed them access to new resources and ideas. The route was named for the precious silks that were exported from China to the Roman Empire in addition to jade, bird feathers, spice…

The exchange of money and the way that financial systems interact has lead to some of the most profound changes to the everyday lives of human beings across the planet. To illustrate how the practice of economics has changed the world, today we'll look at the role of economics in Western history from the 6th century BC era up to the present day.

title: Why study at the University of Lisbon?
description: This public research university was only recently founded, but came from the merging of two famous institutions, the former University of Lisbon and the Technical University of Lisbon, each with its own storied history. There has been some kind of university existing in Lisbon since the 13th century, so it is a city with a long academic pedigree. Economics at the University of Lisbon The university is divided into three colleges for research: the Food, Farming and Forestry College, Mind-Brain College, and the College of Chemistry. Each of the colleges individually contributes to advancing different areas necessary for our continued existence. The Farming and Forestry College, for instance, applies a holistic approach to its scientific advancements, and can be held accountable for producing public policy geared towards dealing with the issues of food and agroforestry on a national and international level. The Mind-Brain College aims to link the concept of mind and brain together. And the College of Chemistry is focused on finding the most economical approach for implementing the university’s human capabilities and materials in conjunction with learning. The university's Lisbon School of Economics and Management offers courses at the undergraduate, masters, and doctoral levels, in addition to other postgraduate courses and an MBA.

Marxian v Neoclassical Economics
type: Article
title: Marxian v Neoclassical Economics
description: Browse all of our Bachelor's Programs here History of the theories Marxian economics is, as the name suggests, a school of thought based on the work of Karl Marx. During the 1800s Marx wrote extensively in the area of political philosophy looking at labour and the economy, and particularly focused on the power dynamics between workers and the ruling class. This work was a reaction against the classical view of economics developed by theorists such as Adam Smith, an early pro-free market theorist who believed the invisible hand of the market would benefit society. The Marxian approach to economics rejects this framework and instead considers the construction of value within a capitalist society. Marx was especially concerned with the rights of workers, who create value through their labour but do not gain the full rewards from this value. Instead, labour is exploited by members of the ruling class for their own interest. Unlike Smith, who believed in a laissez-faire approach to economics and argued that the market would eventually correct any unjust imbalances, Marx argued that capitalist society is specifically structured in order to extract value from the working class by means of labour for the benefit of the ruling class, and that this exploitation is not a bug that will eventually be worked out but an essential feature of capitalism. By contrast, neoclassical economics emphasises individual rationality and the maximisation of profit and is one of the primary models of economics used by those in the field today. The approach was developed throughout the 1800s but was not named until 1900, when Thorstein Veblen wrote an article discussing various schools of economics. The essential principle of neoclassical economics is that every individual will attempt to maximise their personal satisfaction through the means that are available to them – in a capitalist society, that will be primarily through the gaining and spending of money – and that individuals will make inf…

Today we'll be looking at two prominent schools that are relevant for modern economists, Marxian and neoclassical economics, to see how they differ and why they both continue to be of interest despite their many differences.

title: Giada Carrara on Studying at Rotterdam Business School, Netherlands
description: Name: Giada Carrara my friends sometimes call me “Giadin” or “Giadina” that means little cute Giada. :) Age: 19 years old. My birthday is on the 14th June. Where I’m from: I am from Italy but for the last two years I’ve been living in Winnipeg, Canada. What I study: International Business and Management. Which university I attend: Rotterdam Business School (RBS) Instagram page: @giadacarrara 1. Why did you choose to study International Business and Management? Initially after high school I wanted to pursue my studies in medicine, so I did an entrance exam in Italy since universities of medicine only have a specific number of places for students. I got reject by just 4 points, and after the rejection I felt like no other university was going to be right for me. I was very demotivated so I took a gap year to figure out what to do with my academic life. After thinking about it (and after many a sleepless night) and going to open days I discovered RBS. I have always been interested in marketing and international business; the strategies behind businesses fascinate me, hence why I choose international business and management. I also wanted to work in an international environment and this degree is going to prepare me to do so. It will allow me to get a job which will involve travelling to different countries to do business with them. 2. What difficulties have you encountered during the college application process? One of the main difficulties I’ve encountered in the application part of the process was when I had to send my documents to the university so that they could verify them. In my opinion, the school was not ready to receive so many documents so they had many problems respecting the deadlines that they gave us. I was supposed to get an email saying they’d checked all the documents and I’d be admitted in April but they took until June to get back to me. I was really nervous during those months and I thought they were taking so long because I’d not been given a plac…

Why did you choose to study International Business and Management? After high school, I was really confused about my college path and I wanted to major in so many different fields completely unrelated with each other, ranging from International Relations, to Mathematics, to Managerial Engineering and Psychology. Since it was rather difficult figuring out a faculty which would have suited me the most, I decided to look for something that put together all of these different subjects. International Business and Management Studies is the faculty that best puts together all of these different interests of mine. Mathematics is surely involved when thinking of subjects such as logistics and finance. Psychology comes into place while studying marketing and consumer behavior, and International Relations pops up in every international related aspect of my studies. Furthermore, this faculty allows me to pursue my final goal in life of becoming a manager in an international setting and additionally it gives me the opportunity to range over many different potential master programs and professional careers. ➲ Subscribe to find your ideal Master's program in Europe 2.

Economics Blogging Tips From Leigh Caldwell
type: Article
title: Economics Blogging Tips From Leigh Caldwell
description: For other articles on economics, studying and finding jobs... ➲ Download the 2019 Handbook now! Introducing the esteemed Mr Leigh Caldwell…. If forced to pick, which blog article would you say you are most proud of? And, in addition to that, which has created the most ‘buzz’, not necessarily just in terms of reads, but in the conversations it started? I think my personal favourites [from the blog Knowing and Making] are the series of posts in which I lay out my core ideas about cognitive economics. Cognitive economics studies how individuals make economic decisions based on what’s going on in their heads - primarily through an individual’s imagination, empathy and beliefs. Looking at my series posts, such as, ‘Introducing System 3: How we use our imagination to make choices’,’ Neuroscience, psychology and economics: the evidence for System 3 (long)’ and 'Lassie died one night', would give a reader a great insight into cognitive economics. The blog that got the most attention, however, was probably this one, 'Behavioural economics: the Kylie Minogue of market research' - I think people in the market research industry found it amusing. Finally, I would like to hope that 'The gender pay gap on Euristica: an imaginary island' (accompanied by a video of my TEDx talk) has also had a positive impact. This one is for the economic-blog enthusiasts out there. Which fellow (rival?!) bloggers are you currently reading? And whose blogs would you recommend as essential for our readers to follow? I don't see them as rivals at all! My current favourites are Steve Randy Waldman's blog, Interfluidity: he doesn't post too often but when he does, his articles get straight to the heart of complicated, deep topics. Miles Kimball's blog, Confessions of a Supply-Side Liberal is also commendable, often containing insights into cognitive economics - my core focus. If you are looking for funny and penetrative, check out Chris Dillow's blog, Stumbling and Mumbling. His blog is aligned mostly t…
