Our Values

As Britain’s oldest economics-focussed think tank, the Economic Research Council has been dedicated to the provision of economic education, debate and leadership for 80 years. At the time of its formation in the early 1930s, the ERC advocated the study of economics as a subject in its own right, and our commitment to education has endured since.

Economic Literacy

Our commitment to economic literacy is manifested in our diverse activities. We reach out to schools and universities, provide work experience opportunities, and freely disseminate our research and policy studies. These initiatives are aimed at cultivating a deeper understanding of economics across different age groups and backgrounds.

Economic Conversations

At the ERC, we believe in the power of dialogue and diverse perspectives. That’s why we host high-profile economists, authors, politicians, and journalists at our public events. These events are designed to foster accessibility, promote understanding, and encourage civic participation. By supporting the ERC, you contribute to these important economic conversations
