Kent Economics Undergraduate Research Journal
Volume 1, 2025
This Journal’s mission is to showcase the great research work which the University of Kent’s Economics undergraduates produce in their final year at Kent. These works are typically the first exploration into Economics Research for our Students but the standard of work they produce is high and the intellectual content impressive. Kent students are free to research any topic in Economics and the range of research questions exampled in this first edition of the Journal illustrates this breadth.
The Journal, and the papers herein, are an excellent example for potential applicants to Kent to understand how far Kent Economics can take you - if you try. The Journal is also a “must read” for our current students who are about to embark on their own Dissertation, in order to see what they should aim for.
For our Staff, helping our students to produce their first piece of research is a real highlight of our work. Even if you don’t have time to read every paper there should be a piece here that motivates, sparks your interest or imagination.
