I'm a MSc Economics student at UCL. I have a keen interest in pluralist approaches to economics, such as behavioural, feminist and well anything that isn't really mainstream.

USS Strikes: Should students be demanding compensation?
We are two days into industrial action across 57 universities across the UK, with four more joining on Monday, and a further three scheduled to join from the March 5th. All of these universities have almost unanimously voted for strike action (88 percent average), and the four that are not striking are not doing so due to failing to meet the 50 percent voter turnout (narrowly too— 46 to 48.8 percent).

Internalising Externalities
In economics, externalities are activities conducted that affect those who did not wish to be involves in said activity. Common negative examples include pollution, noise and second-hand smoke. But they can be positive as well, such as pollination from a beekeeper's bees, general levels of education and vaccinations.
