Have you recently written an honours thesis for your Bachelor’s degree? Or another similar in-depth study? If so, did you enjoy the research and writing process? Did it turn out well in the end?

Each year the editors of the Journal of Australian Political Economy consider applications from students who are interested in converting their research and writing into an article for publication in an academic journal.

Applications normally close at the end of November each year. This year, however, the deadline has been extended to December 10th.

Check whether your “statistically significant” results are also “numerically/economically significant”. Be sure that you know exactly what assumptions are used/needed to obtain the results relating to the properties of any estimator or […]

At last counting there were 1,230 Palestinians killed in Gaza as a result of 3,000 or more air and artillery strikes. 56 Continue reading »
The Australian Secret Intelligence Service was established in 1950 to conduct spying overseas and morally repulsive covert operations. It had a slow start, but in the 1970s it sent three staff to Chile to help the CIA overthrow the democratically elected government of President Salvador Allende.
