The Global Association of Economics Education of the United Kingdom (GAEE UK), since its inception last year, has expanded its chapter network to over 28 colleges in the country.

GAEE UK has recently hosted the renowned British economist Vicky Pryce, former Joint Head of the United Kingdom’s Government Economic Service, in an exclusive interview to discuss gender equality and economic recovery. It also hosted Dr. John Fender—Professor of Macroeconomics at the University of Birmingham—on a webinar yesterday titled “What is the Role of Policy?”
