PhD and master's project opportunities

A/Prof Babones is soliciting PhD, Honours, and other research students to work on projects under the rubric of "Emerging Market Societies" to study the societies of economically important developing countries and regions. A/Prof Babones is particularly interested in supervising studies of economic growth and economic inequality in the greater China region. Students are especially encouraged who would like to learn how to use quantitative methods to study official statistical data produced by government agencies. No prior mathematical or statistical training is required, but potential students should be curious about quantitative methods and eager to expand their knowledge.
