A primary purpose of the Centre is to foster on-going research into varied aspects of modern economic life at both macro and micro levels. In keeping with the Centre's view that economics is both a practical and ethical discipline, its research work maintains a clear link between concepts and application, academic and practical aspects, micro problems and the central economic questions of our time.

• Deep Accounting (Accounting Reform)
• The Role of the Corporation and the Future of Not-for-profits
• Prospects for a World Currency
• Financing Education
• The Economics of Farming
• Youth Financial Literacy

In collaboration with colleagues from around the world, the research is coordinated by Dr. Christopher Houghton Budd, whose wide-ranging involvement in economic life, includes practical, academic and political experience, a degree in economic history, and a doctorate in banking and international finance.

The research is tracked by way of articles published in Associative Economics Monthly, and as papers, booklets, and books under the imprint New Economy Publications.
