TEACHING STAFF
Thanks to the collaborative nature of the
programme, the Programme is able to appoint teachers who are experts in
their respective field. As a result, the quality of teaching expertise
employed on the MSc Programme is of a very high calibre. For example
Professor John Hardman Moore who teaches the core microeconomics course, is
generally recognised to be one of the leading micro-theorists of his
generation whilst he and other teachers such as Ed Hopkins and Jonathan
Thomas regularly publish in the American Economic Review and Econometrica, the profession's two "flagship"
journals. Besides a presence in these and other leading journals, SGPE
teachers also have affiliations and advisory roles with institutions such
as the IMF and National Governments. For example, since 1991 Ronnie MacDonald,
who is a leading expert in the area of International Money and Finance, has
been a Visiting Scholar in the Research Department of the International
Monetary Fund on 15 separate occasions, has regularly taught a course on
The Economics of Exchange Rates at the IMF Institute and has also been a
consultant to a number of central banks, including the European Central
Bank, and leading financial institutions in the City of London. Similarly,
Mark Schaffer, a world authority in Transition Economics
, has acted as advisor and/or consultant to International Financial
Organisations working in the East European region, including the World
Bank, IMF, EBRD, UNEDE, EU and OECD, as has Paul Hare and Hartmut Lehmann.
One attractive feature of our programme
is the wide range of elective courses on offer in the second term ranging
from development to health economics. Again these are taught by experts in
each respective field. Particular examples are Martin Chalkley
from Dundee (Health Economics), who, is a
leading expert on health service contracts, and who contributed an invited
chapter to one of the famous and definitive North Holland Economics
"Handbooks" and the teachers of the Economic Transition elective,
all of whom come from Heriot Watt's prestigious "Centre for Economic
Reform and Transformation."
Teaching staff on the MSc vary from year
to year as some take annual or sabbatical leave or, in the longer term, as
courses are reviewed and changed. The table below gives details of the
teaching staff in post during the 2002/3 academic year together with the
