Economics and Business Working Papers (E&BWP)

The working paper series is a collection of research papers reflecting the interests of the economics and business group within UCL SSEES. It focuses principally on the economies of Eastern Europe, Russia and Central Asia, and it encompasses the following fields of enquiry: financial economics, entrepreneurship and business economics, corporate governance, innovation and technical change, international trade, FDI, economic growth and inflationary process, health and well-being, agriculture and rural development, labour markets and political economy.

The E&BWP are peer reviewed. External contributors are welcomed to submit their work to the editor of the series.
