The UCSC economics faculty have varied interests and active programs of research. Individual faculty research interests are described in this section.
Faculty also collaborate on research.
For example, Professors Cheung, Chinn, Fung, Hutchison, Singh, and Walsh have been involved in ongoing research projects funded by the UC Pacific Rim Research Program. In addition, several faculty members have been working together on research in international economics, funded by the Division of Social Sciences. An active seminar series brings speakers to the department from other universities and institutions in the U.S. and abroad. Recent conferences organized at UCSC by economics faculty have focused on international economics, environmental issues, Japanese economy, central banks, and labor economic issues.
