Research centres and groups
Centre for Economic History
The Centre for Economic History in the ANU Research School of Economics has been established to foster scholarship through a variety of linkage projects and events. It provides a forum for quality research and discussion of economic history among academics and an interface with the wider world.
Centre for Economic Policy Research
The Centre for Economic Policy (CEPR) began in the Research School of Social Sciences at ANU in 1980, at the initiative of the late Professor Fred Gruen. It was founded on account of a major gap in Australian universities between research and economic policy debate. CEPR was the first institution in Australia to seek to bridge this gap, and continues to inform sound research-led policy.
Rural-Urban Migration in China and Indonesia (RUMiCI)
The Rural-Urban Migration in China and Indonesia project was established to investigate the impacts of internal migration within China and Indonesia.
