- China and the World Economy
GEP supports both scientific and policy focused research. Its core staff comprises a group of Research Fellows based at Nottingham, a network of External Fellows from a number of Universities in Western Europe, North America and Australia, and a number of Policy Associates based in the policy-making community. GEP publishes its own Research Paper Series, sponsors a weekly seminar series regular workshop programmes and conferences and supports a range of other outreach activities.
