Applied Microeconomics
Applied Microeconomics
The Applied Microeconomics research group unites researchers working on a broad array of topics within such areas as labour economics, economics of education, health economics, family economics, urban economics, environmental economics, and the economics of science and innovation. The group operates in close collaboration with the CAGE Research Centre.
The group participates in the CAGE seminar on Applied Economics, which runs weekly on Tuesdays at 2:15pm. Students and faculty members of the group present their ongoing work in two brown bag seminars, held weekly on Tuesdays and Wednesdays at 1pm. Students, in collaboration with faculty members, also organise a bi-weekly reading group in applied econometrics on Thursdays at 1pm. The group organises numerous events throughout the year, including the Research Away Day and several thematic workshops.

Teaching & Learning Seminar - Paul Middleditch (Manchester)S2.77 Cowling RoomTitle: Nudged Engagement and Student Learning Outcomes Abstract: This project involves a descriptive analysis of an action based research project undertaken at the University of Manchester, to measure the learning outcome effects of some specific mechanisms in course design, which we can think of as nudges. The project is motivated by a desire to increase students engagement and attainment on large scale courses that tend to make use of a range of blended learning structures. We present some early findings from one of two courses at the University of Manchester, where nudging has ben employed as a way to flatten the distribution of student engagement over the semester. We find that the tools used indeed increase engagement over time, that extremes of learning outcomes are reduced and aggregate outcomes are improved. |
