Much of the research to be conducted by the Network falls under the following substantive themes: Consumer behaviour and economic welfare, Policy and programme evaluation methods, The empirical analysis of games and auctions; Methods for longitudinal/panel data analysis, Labour markets and Health. These six themes and the Network's general interest in methodological development, will serve as focal points for training, research collaboration and interaction between partners in the Network and affiliated nodes.

Training

The Network has an extensive training programme, which includes doctoral programme courses, short courses, master-classes, workshops, international conferences and seminars and network meetings. The doctoral student will be able to choose from the wide variety of training offered by the Network partners.
