Summer Recruitment and Student Clearing - Last Minute Candidate Matching That Still Makes an Impact
type: Article
title: Summer Recruitment and Student Clearing - Last Minute Candidate Matching That Still Makes an Impact
description: While many students have a job or university course lined up for September, others do not, and are frantically seeking an opening for a master’s program, MBA program, bachelor’s program, or even a PhD opportunity. For many graduates, the race is on to avoid a return back to their parent’s spare room, and they are actively looking for a postgraduate job, traineeship or internship. On the other side of the equation, student recruiters may still be sweating about whether they can fill all the seats for their university programs. And employers face a unique opportunity to recruit fresh graduates. Given the pressure, real or perceived, for graduates to land a job quickly, the summer offers recruiters a pool of highly motivated and qualified, yet unusually flexible candidates who are anxious to find meaningful employment after years of study. How this “scramble” between candidates and recruiters plays out can vary, depending on whether the opportunities in question are undergraduate (bachelor) programs, postgraduate (master’s or PhD) positions. In online platforms like INOMICS, we notice a surge of interest in graduate positions over the summer, as well as extended campaigns from recruiters for those study programs that still have capacity. In some countries there are even structures in place to handle the need to urgently place candidates. An example is the “Clearing” process for school leavers, i.e. prospective undergraduate students, who have not yet secured a place in the UK university system. Clearing - A Case-Study in last-minute recruitment Between July and early October, universities and colleges across the UK (and increasingly across Europe) engage in UCAS (the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service) Clearing - a critical second wave of student decision-making. Typically over 30,000 courses still have places to fill at the start of July each year, and hundreds of thousands of students will be looking for the right fit. But this isn’t just a student-facing p…

The authority values Dr. Zhu's insights, stemming from his academic credentials and practical experiences in financial services, to enhance its policy-making processes. Commenting on his new position, Dr. Zhu expressed his enthusiasm for contributing to Hong Kong’s economic development and his commitment to fostering a transparent and robust financial regulatory framework.

He was an influential member of the House of Lords and served as a professor at the London School of Economics (LSE), where he was regarded as a trailblazer in economic discourse. Desai's academic career was marked by a dedication to exploring the intricacies of economic policy, development, and global financial systems.

He was particularly noted for his critiques of economic structures and advocates for more inclusive approaches to economic governance. In the wake of his passing, many from various sectors of the political and academic community have expressed condolences, highlighting his unique ability to bridge the gap between rigorous economic theory and practical application. His insights often challenged conventional wisdom, encouraging innovative approaches to tackling economic challenges.

The legacy of Lord Meghnad Desai will continue through his vast body of work, inspiring future generations of economists, policymakers, and scholars.

Portugal Nominates Alvaro Santos Pereira as New Central Bank Governor
type: NewsArticle
title: Portugal Nominates Alvaro Santos Pereira as New Central Bank Governor
description: LISBON (Reuters) - The Portuguese government has nominated Alvaro Santos Pereira, the current chief economist at the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), to become the next governor of the central bank. His nomination comes following the end of Mario Centeno’s term, which officially concluded on July 19. The announcement was made by Cabinet Minister Antonio Leitao Amaro during a weekly cabinet meeting. The central bank governor's role is critical and comes with a five-year term, with the possibility of reappointment. Prior to officially taking office, Pereira will need to face questioning from a parliamentary committee; however, this committee holds no power to veto his nomination. It's common in Portugal for heads of regulatory bodies to continue in their positions for months after their official terms have ended, a scenario that occurred with Centeno as well, who had expressed his willingness to remain in the role. This nomination highlights the importance of leadership within Portugal's financial landscape, especially as economic conditions evolve. The appointment is now set to undergo the next steps in the approval process, continuing to attract attention within both political and economic spheres.

description: In a press release, the University of Cambridge has announced that Professor Jagjit S. Chadha, a distinguished academic at the Faculty of Economics at the University, has been appointed a Fellow of Gresham College, an esteemed institution known for its public lectures since 1597. Chadha, who previously held the title of Mercers' Memorial Professor of Commerce at Gresham College from 2014 to 2018, expressed his honor in continuing his collaboration with the college which aims to promote public knowledge in the arts and sciences. In his tenure at Gresham, he delivered 24 lectures focused on enhancing public understanding of economics and economic policy. "I am honoured and delighted to be recognised by Gresham College in this way. My 24 lectures were designed to support public understanding of economics and economic policy but I think I learned the most from their delivery," stated Professor Chadha. He will now be in a position where he can also make contributions to the college's Academic Board. In addition to his new role, Professor Chadha has also been appointed a Visiting Professor at Birkbeck, part of the University of London, where he will be engaged with the Economics Group for the next three years. Plans are in discussions about introducing an Annual State of Economic Address. Chadha has an illustrious academic background, having served as Director of the National Institute of Economic and Social Research until December 2024, and has previously held positions at the University of Kent and the University of St Andrews. His contributions to the field have been recognized with an OBE in the 2021 Queen's Birthday Honours, and he was elected a Founding Fellow of the Royal Economic Society in 2025.

EABCN Takes Over ECB's Area Wide Model (AWM) Database

title: EABCN Takes Over ECB's Area Wide Model (AWM) Database
description: The Euro Area Business Cycle Network (EABCN) has officially assumed control over the Euro Area Business Cycle Dating Committee's (EABCDC) Area Wide Model (AWM) database, which was decommissioned by the European Central Bank (ECB) in 2010. The AWM database, instrumental for empirical work on the euro area, has not been updated since 2019. It is hoped that the EABCN's involvement will rejuvenate this important resource, allowing for regular updates twice a year in conjunction with EABCDC meetings. The AWM database provides a foundational source for analyzing the euro area’s economic fluctuations and is significant for output gap estimations among other economic indicators. The recent transition of data management to EABCN may come as a relief for both both academic researchers and policy institutions focused on the euro area's economic stability who benefit from reliable data about business cycles within the Eurozone.
