The Department provides a base for a diverse and internationally renowned group of academic economists. There are some 60 economists holding permanent appointments, including 14 Fellows of the British Academy and 13 Fellows of the Econometric Society. The Department of Economics is located in the Manor Road Building (designed by Sir Norman Foster and completed in 2003). In addition to office space for Faculty and administrative staff, there is an open-plan workspace for postdoctoral research fellows and research students. The Department also accommodates a number of externally funded research groups and projects, including the Centre for the Study of African Economics (CSAE), the Oxford Institute for Global Economic Development (OxIGED) and the Centre for the Analysis of Resource-Rich Economics (OxCarre), and the International Growth Centre (IGC, a joint venture between Oxford and the LSE). The Manor Road Building is approximately 15 minutes’ walking distance from the city centre. In addition to Economics, it also houses other departments within the Social Sciences Division, the Social Science Library, and an excellent cafeteria.
