It is one of the many ways CAGE works to ensure the future vibrancy and sustainability of the discipline of Economics in the UK and beyond.

In 2022, the theme of the Summer School was New Research in Political Economy. A different theme is drawn each year from the wide array of economics topics CAGE researchers work on.
