Top Economics student research showcased on Warwick Monash portal for the third year running

David's paper was titled "Technologies and Labour: A Theoretical Model of Task-based Production in Labour Market with Search Frictions".

Ruilang's paper was titled "The Dynamics of Polarisation and Revolutions".

“My paper constructs a game-theoretic model to investigate the dynamics of political polarisation and collective actions. It emphasises the co-evolution of voter behaviour and strategic political candidacy. I hoped to extend the current debate about the effect of polarisation in mature democracies.

“I furthered my understanding of microeconomic theory and its applications in political economy. To conduct some of the more complex analyses, I learned to use a very helpful software called Mathematica. I will continue to apply these academic and computer skills during my postgraduate studies.

“My supervisor was Kirill Pogorelskiy, to whom I’m deeply grateful. It was his continuous encouragement and guidance that made this project possible.”

Sofiya's paper was titled "The effect of generative AI adoption on knowledge workers: evidence from Luxembourg".

"Writing the dissertation was a great experience. First, because I appreciated the freedom that the Economics department gave us with the choice of topic and methodology, which allowed me to effectively learn a programming language while carrying out the research.

Second, because my supervisor Natalia gave very thoughtful guidance and was very supportive along the way. While the technical skills I learnt are not directly applicable to my current job, the resilience that the writing process made me develop will no doubt help me in any future role."
