CAHSS researchexplores economies in their broadest sense, encompassing economic, legal, historical, cultural and social studies of finance, labour, productivity and markets. A particular focus is on employment and labour markets, where our work intersects with the theme on Identities and Inequalities. We have also seen a significant expansion of research on the role of data driven innovation in both the creative and financial sectors, including through the AHRC Creative Informatics project, and the new Strength in Places project on innovation in financial services.
