WELCOME TO THE CENTRE FOR THE STUDY OF AFRICAN ECONOMIES

We are a development economics research centre based at the University of Oxford, with researchers in the Department of Economics, the Blavatnik School of Government, and the Oxford Department of International Development.

CSAE CONFERENCE 2024: ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IN AFRICA

The CSAE Conference 2024 will take place from 17-19 March 2024 in person at St Catherine's College, Oxford, UK. The Conference is a three day event that brings together colleagues from across the development economics community to discuss Africa.

OUR RESEARCH PROJECTS

CSAE researchers are working on projects across Africa and other developing countries on a range of topics from firms and labour to welfare and behaviour.

OUR RESEARCH IN ACTION

CSAE researchers strive to create a close and trusted network of connections with senior officials and advisors in the countries that we are working in to ensure that our research engages with the current challenges faced by policymakers and international organisations in developing countries.
