What is Economics in Action?
Economics in Action aims to show why economics matters by providing access to interviews of leading economics researchers, talking about their work.
Each interview has an accompanying article summarising the findings of the research and providing links to further relevant web sites.
Economics in Action was set up as a trial for ESRC Social Science Week 2006 as a partnership between Intute: Social Sciences, the Royal Economic Society and the Economics Network.
