Case Studies

UKRN case study: Economics

University of Reading case study: Economics of Large-Scale Land Acquisitions

Examples of open research practices

Open Data: Macroeconomics and studies of international trade require open data sharing and collaboration because informed outcomes require both multiple data sources and equal insights on the policy constraints for each national economy (https://op.europa.eu/s/oGPn). In line with this, there are open access reports on economic change and international trade available (https://ec.europa.eu/info/business-economy-euro_en) as well as open datasets (https://www.wto.org/index.htm).
