Research Methods and Statistics (PHDE0056)

Building on the content of Psychological Research taken in Year 1, this module offers a more in-depth exploration of methodology and data analysis for meaningful inquiry and research in the fields of psychology and education. A range of key methods and analysis approaches in both qualitative and quantitative domains are discussed and critiqued. An emphasis is also placed on preparing students to carry out an independent research project in Year 3 of the BSc.

The module Economic History and Ideas is a compulsory intermediate (year 2) module for undergraduate students in the new History, Politics and Economics programme. It is a full module unit spanning the autumn and spring terms. The module combines a discussion of modern economic history with analysis of economic theory, so as to provide proper context for the ideas, as they appeared throughout the last two centuries. Each week covers one major topic. About two thirds of the time will be devoted to questions of actual historical economic developments, the remaining one third to history of economic ideas.



Topics include, for example, the interaction between institutions and economic development, the demographic transition, market integration, the causes and consequences of technological change, the emergence of modern schooling, the rise and fall of slavery and serfdom, the Great Depression and others on the economic history side; the birth of economics, the debate over free trade in 19th century Europe, the Malthusian trap, the marginalist revolution, the Keynesian critique and the rise of modern growth theory on the history of thought side.



The module is comparative in its geographic focus: in considering the trends in economic history, we look not only at the success stories of Britain, Holland and the US but also at the countries of Eastern and Central Europe. The overarching theme in modern economic history of Eastern and Central Europe is the effort to catch up economically (and, by extension, militarily) with the West. The comparative aspect consists in seeing how policies and activities, employed in the West, succeeded or failed in the East- and Central-European context and how specific developmental features of the region contributed to, or detracted from, the long-term economic development.
