Economics & Finance Research

 

On Tuesday 1 August 2023, the School of Economics and Finance and the School of Management merged to create the University of St Andrews Business School.

The Business School and its three departments – Management, Economics, and Finance – build on the strengths of the former School of Management and School of Economics and Finance, both ranked in the top five of their subject areas in the UK.

This community contains research that was carried out in the school prior to this merger, when it was known as the School of Economics and Finance.
