Economic History goes digital

CAGE will create a section of the website dedicated to the datasets we have created over the past 10 years. Researchers will be able to view, download, use and visualise historic data on GDP, Indian Censuses, trade and much more. The site will be a significant resource for economic historians and economists alike.

Advantage Magazine Redesigned

CAGE is working on a special themed issue of the magazine for publication in June.

CAGE Shorts

We’ve produced a series of short films on some of our most recent research which will be released throughout the year. The first video, The art of the trade war was showcased at the event.
