School of Economics PhD Studentship in Applied Econometrics and Finance: Research Theme 5

About

The School of Economics offers dedicated studentships to prospective candidates starting the PhD Economics programme in the Academic Year 2022/23 and pursuing projects in topics of particular interest to the School. These studentships will be awarded to applicants that submit the most promising research proposals based on the project outline reported below and clearly demonstrate academic excellence in the area of Applied Econometrics and Finance. The application deadline for prospective students to be considered for this studentship is 28 March 2022.

Research Theme 5: Post Covid Monetary Policy.

The Covid-19 global pandemic has changed the financial landscape in a number of significant ways not least by motivating an (almost) unprecedented surge in public spending, in many cases vastly exceeding the QE witnessed in the wake of the Global Financial Crisis. The aim of this project is to examine the effect of this massive release of fiscal restraints both on international and domestic finance (in a selection of important national cases). The work will focus on three main themes: (i) The effect on the main macro variables and their effectiveness as indicators; (ii) the change in the relative responsiveness of policy levers with regard to macroprudential (risk) regulation; (iii) the appropriateness and suitability of the traditional Central Bank models (BVARs/DSGE) of monetary management to forecast tipping point events under the current conditions. It is expected that there will be heavy reliance on empirical data analysis, as well as deep critical discussion of relevant modern money topics such as digital finance, and post-Covid 19 recovery programmes.

You would be working with Dr Gustavo Fruet Dias and Dr Joel Clovis. Applications are welcome from suitably qualified candidates worldwide with an original and high quality research proposal.

How to Apply

If you are applying from outside the UK for a Student Visa, you will be applying for an Entry Clearance visa. This visa will be a 30 day visa that will allow you to enter the UK. Once you are in the UK, you will need to collect your Biometric Residence Permit (BRP) visa.

Please note this page has general information regarding applying from outside of the UK for a Student Visa and should only be used as a guide. Read the Home Office Student VisaPolicy Guidancefor the full requirements.

1.Prepare to meet all the requirements and to get all the required documents ready to apply. It is important to prepare your finances as this is the main requirement that you need to do prepare in advance. If you are using a bank account, you need to show the total funds required for 28 days. Other financial documents may also take time to prepare, so start early. Also prepare how and when you are going to apply. It is also essential that you know the requirements and rules.

2.Get a CAS Statement from UEA. If you are required to have an Academic Technology Approval Scheme (ATAS) Certificate, you must apply for this before you are able to get your CAS.

3.Complete the application form online. Apply online on the GOV.UK website

It is recommended that you use the Access UK website to apply - available from the GOV.UK website.

You will need to do the following as part of the online application:

Pay the Immigration Healthcare Surcharge (IHS) and visa application fee
Select a UK postcode for collecting your StudentVisa

We would highly recommend that you select the University of East Anglia as your alternative collection location (ACL). The code that you need to put in your application is 2HE564. This code will be listed on the Confirmation of Acceptance of Studies (CAS) that the University has issued and that you need to apply for your Student Visa. If you cannot or do not wish to collect your BRP at the University, you have the option of collecting your BRP at some selected Post Offices. If you decide to collect from the local Post Office, use the University of East Anglia address (post code NR4 7TJ) to locate the nearest post office.

State the intended date of travel for collection of your Student visa in the UK.

When you apply for your visa outside the UK you will be asked to provide an intended travel date. We suggest that you choose a date 7 days before your course start date.

4. Submit your application and supporting documents. Follow the instructions carefully when you apply. You must submit all the original documents. Your original documents will be returned to you.

Remember if you are applying within the Tier 4 Pilot Scheme or the Differentiation Arrangements you will not need to submit all your supporting documents.

5. Attend an interview appointment

All students applying for a Student visa will be required to attend an interview appointment, where you will also give your biometrics (a photograph and your fingerprints).

6. Receive your visa and passport. Your visa will be in your passport. This is a 30-day visa that will allow you to travel to the UK and collect your Student Visa Biometric Residence Permit card.

The vignette is proof only of your permission to enter the UK. You must travel during these 30 days and you will not be allowed to enter the country outside those dates (if for any reason you are unable to travel you’ll need to apply and pay for a vignette transfer for a new 30-day period).

Please note that you must never arrive in the UK earlier than 1 month before the start date of your course if you are studying a course for 6 months or more or a pre-sessional course (7 days if your course is less than 6 months).
