On the 28th February, the team of Ashish Ramuni (PPE), Jeremy Chen (Economics), Greg Tucker (Economics) and Shermeen Saud (PPE) won The Economics Debate, organised by UCL and the Institute of Economic Affairs. Debating in favour of the motion that “Open borders do not add sufficient value to the economy” in the main chamber at City Hall in London, Warwick beat the UCL team in the Grand Final to remain champions for the second year in a row. The team impressed a panel of judges composing of Dr Steven Davies, Head of Education at the IEA, Dr Helen Jenkins, Managing Partner at Oxera, and Dr Douglas Lippoldt, Chief Trade Economist at HSBC.

Congratulations to PPE finalist Paul Noller who was one of four finalists at this year's International Atlantic Economic Society’s 14th annual Best Undergraduate Paper Competition (IAES).

The International Atlantic Economic Society invites students from across the globe to compete in the IAES annual Best Undergraduate Paper Award (BUPA) competition. The competition recognises and rewards outstanding research conducted by undergraduate students. Each year, four finalists are selected to present their research in person.

Paul presented on Evaluating the Credibility of the European Bank Bail-in Commitment and has been invited to have a 800 word abstract of his paper published in the Atlantic Economic Journal.

Speaking about his experience to Warwick Economics, Paul said:

Attending and presenting my research at the IAES conference was a most rewarding and fascinating experience. Moreover, having my paper published in the Atlantic Economic Journal is my greatest academic achievement so far, which I hope will be a road towards having a genuine impact on the literature in my field. My gratitude goes to the IAES for considering my work worthy of such a distinct audience and the Warwick Economics department for their unwavering support of my project and application to the IAES.

Congratulations to Philosophy, Politics and Economics student Hasan Suida who was awarded with the University’s Outstanding Student Contribution Award (OSCA) at his graduation.

Balraj Dhingra (finalist in BA PPE) has been elected as Sports Officer for the next academic year. He beat four other candidates in the most contested race of the Students' Union elections this year.
