Posted in Undergrad Opportunities

Posted on 3/18/24: This is a final call inviting undergraduate students to submit to the UCL Journal of Economics this academic year. The UJE is the official peer-reviewed, student-run journal of the UCL Department of Economics. We publish a yearly issue compiled and edited by students and peer reviewed by postgraduates and other academic experts. We aim to provide a free and reputable platform for undergraduate economists worldwide to begin their academic journeys, regardless of their previous experience, and create a formal record of high quality undergraduate economic research that may otherwise go unpublished.

Across our two issues, we have published 22 articles from students at top universities with a great variety of topics studied and methodologies employed. As a sample of the high quality of papers we seek to publish, please refer to the selection below:
