Activities:

The main activity of the Theory Group is the organisation and running of the Economic Theory Seminars which are held weekly during term-time. Researchers from around the world present papers in this internationally recognised series, which is open to all interested in areas of theoretical economics. Recent issues discussed have included political economy, mechanism design, behavioural economics and the theory of incomplete contracts.

Further information about The Economic Theory Seminars can be found on our Events and Seminars section.

The Theory Group runs a student seminar workshop/surgery in whcih students' work is presented and discussed with both fellow students and faculty.

The Theory Group also runs two reading groups:

1. A weekly student reading group that precedes the Economic Theory seminar and covers related papers. For details see,

2. A weekly, joint faculty and student, reading group (run by Francesco Nava). For details see, http://personal.lse.ac.uk/nava/Reading%20Group.htm
