Applied Economics Research Centre (AERC), University of Karachi, is a unique research institute devoted to imparting post graduate level education on one hand and conducting, supporting and encouraging academic and policy oriented research in applied economics and related disciplines on the other. We are performing research on various topics. We publish academic journal, research reports, opinion pieces, and newsletters to the public, and we also seek to exchange opinions with people from various fields through conferences, seminars, and workshops.
As Director of the AERC, I envision our Institute as part of a vital strategy to invest in emerging research fields in applied economics and social sciences that may defy today’s traditional academic classification …
