Activities:

The Political Science and Political Economy (PSPE) research group is based in the Department of Government at the LSE.

The PSPE group brings together faculty and PhD students at the LSE who are involved in quantitative and/or formal research on political institutions, political behaviour, public policy, and political economy.

The PSPE group aims to:

• promote the research activities of the members, both individually and collectively;
  
  
• develop a common research profile;
  
  
• collaborate with individuals and units elsewhere in the LSE who research on related topics; and
  
  
• organise a Research Seminar, a Doctoral Workshop, and a Working Paper series.
