We are
Economics and Business Economics at Radboud University is Economics+. We employ and train out-of-the-box thinking economists who make use of the mainstream repertoire of economic theories and methods but are also able to integrate related theories and methods from other disciplines such as psychology, sociology and political science. As a result, Radboud economists are better able to contribute to the discussion and resolution of contemporary societal challenges. Given the breadth of the concepts of responsibility and sustainability, we focus on three inter-related topical areas to which we can make the biggest contribution: (i) The Economics of Climate Change; (ii) Inequality and Wellbeing; and (iii) Innovation, Economic Growth and Decent work. We study these three domains of sustainability along three levels of analysis: Individuals, Organizations, and Societies. We do so because achieving actionable insights and outcomes in the realm of sustainable economic behaviour, whether it is in macro-economic policy or business strategy, requires deep understanding of how people react to incentives and interventions.
