New Economy Working Papers
New Economy Working Papers was set up in summer 2008. The papers are designed both to produce robust pieces of analysis that stimulate the long-term sustainable economic growth of the Manchester city region and to act as a vehicle for economic development professionals to further their personal development, providing a route for them to publish papers.
An independent Editorial Board, made up of experts in the field of economics, has overall responsibility for developing the Working Papers and for all aspects of their content and quality regulation. In addition, each Working Paper is reviewed by a panel of peers with knowledge and experience in the given field of the paper.
Papers are published in a standard format in hard copy and on the internet, and the Editorial Board is designed to provide support to the authors in further developing Working Papers with a view to them being published in the highest- quality journals.
The first Working Paper, which focuses on early stage equity finance in Manchester, was launched at a very successful event, chaired by Professor Rod Coombs of the University of Manchester. The second and third Working Papers were launched at the City of Manchester Stadium, at an event chaired by Peter Fell, Director of Regional and Economic Affairs at the University of Manchester.
Working Papers are intended to stimulate intellectual and challenging debate on the key economic issues and ideas being put forward, which are of relevance not just to the Manchester city, but to the wider north and indeed UK plc.
