Economics Policy Challenge​

The Economic Policy Challenge is a prestigious research essay based competition for high school students, undergraduates, and postgraduates on Economic related issues. It is jointly organized by the Economics Societies of the top universities of UCL, LSE and Oxford in conjunction with the Institute of Economic Affairs.

The EPC will give participants hands-on experience in applying both quantitative and qualitative Economic tools to the real world problems. This is modeled after the work in think-tanks that produce analysis and recommendations on socio-economic issues to improve policy decision making. 

The competition was founded in 2009 by the LSESU Economic Society with students applying from universities all over Europe and Asia. Each year, the 3 best applicants are selected, who then give a presentation followed by a Question/Answer session in front of our esteemed Judging Panel. Last year, this featured Paul Johnson, Director of the IFS. In 2011, Alistair Darling, former UK Chancellor joined the judging panel. Every year the EPC aims to become more global.
