Final results by our REF study group @danielle_guizzo & James Walker @UniofReading published now:
"how the REF can affect macroeconomics, the field & individual macroeconomists, as well as its potential connections to a persistent monoculture"
rebuildingmacroeconomics.ac.…
And these monocultures further marginalise groups already underrepresented in the profession, to the point where eg the Bank of England has crafted a degree apprenticeship in economics that bypasses intakes from public school dominated ecs departments (4/5)
