2004: Summary
In 2004, Associate Professor George Docwra retired after many years of distinguished service to the School. Associate Professor Tony Makin was on leave of absence as a senior consultant at the International Monetary Fund and Associate Professor Jie Zhang was on leave of absence at the National University of Singapore. Once again, the School was very fortunate to have a stream of distinguished visitors. Among them, Professor Thomas Moutos (Athens), Professor Steve Bradley (Lancaster) and Professor Erwin Diewert (British Columbia). We were very pleased that Professor Alan Fels agreed to present the 14th Colin Clark Lecture. Most staff gave presentations in Australia or overseas. Professor John Quiggin made the largest number of presentations and media contributions.
With regard to research, the School was highly productive, authoring well over 250 papers, theses, reviews and books. Importantly, in terms of the number of very high quality journal publications, 2004 was the School’s best ever year. On a range of measures of journal quality and impact, the School ranked within the top three in Australia. Twenty-four research grants were also held in the School, of which eleven were Australian Research Council funded. Total research funding was the highest on record.
Postgraduate research remained a very high priority in the School with 56 research students mainly enrolled in the PhD program plus 21 more that were jointly supervised in other schools, reflecting the interdisciplinary strength that exists. Graduates from our prestigious postgraduate honours program continue to be in very strong demand in government, finance and business. In 2004, 21 students graduated with honours in economics and econometrics.
Both the academic and administrative staff should be congratulated in achieving so many tangible successes, particularly in a funding climate that has not been improving. As the contents of this Report show, 2004 was an outstanding year for the School of Economics.

Mission Statement
MISSION The School of Economics is committed to maintaining a high standard in economic research, teaching, community service and professional service.
Research Objectives • To develop research capabilities across the broad range of economics of particular benefit to Queensland and Australia. • To develop expertise in selected areas of research in which the School aims to have a leading Australian or international position. • To work in emerging, or ‘frontier’, areas of theoretical and empirical research. • Towards these ends, the School seeks to maintain a high publication rate in refereed journals and other publications of academic and professional significance. It will reward staff according to research performance and will appoint staff committed to fostering research. The School will promote research in collaboration with other universities and research bodies.
Teaching Objectives • To maintain the highest standards in teaching, in the development and transmission of knowledge and of research skills. • To reward staff with high levels of teaching performance and graduate supervision. • The School emphasises both rigour in economic analysis and comprehensive training in the application of economic statistics. It offers a range of courses necessary to ensure that our students receive a high quality degree and will be employable in both the public and private sectors.
Community and Professional Service • To provide community services in the economics area, particularly in Queensland, in fulfilment of our professional obligations to the community. Community service can be shown in several ways. For example, by appropriate types of contract research, consulting, contributions to conferences dealing with community issues, radio and newspaper contributions. • The School recognises its prominence as a professional teaching and research body in Queensland, and the obligations this brings in providing professional leadership in the State and, where appropriate, nationally and internationally.

GOALS The Mission Statement leads to the following specific goals that form the basis of the School’s Strategic Plan.
1 To produce high quality research and scholarship and to publish in internationally refereed journals. 2 To maintain the highest academic standards in all our teaching programs. 3 To produce a strong flow of the highest quality professional and academic economists from our BEcon Honours, Masters by coursework, PhD and MPhil programs. 4 To produce a strong flow of BEcon graduates with economic skills that will make them highly effective and successful in a range of managerial, administrative and advisory occupations. 5 To ensure excellence in teaching in all our undergraduate and graduate programs. 6 To be recognised internationally as a ‘top three’ School of Economics in Australia. 7 To meet the needs of other Schools in the University for economics instruction in their respective programs in a responsive and innovative way. 8 To provide high quality information and advice to the University, the community and the economics profession. 9 To maintain a close and ongoing relationship with our alumni through participation in alumni events and the dissemination of materials informing alumni of activities and developments in the School. 10 To efficiently manage the resources of the School and to ensure financial viability in the future.

Visitors to the School
Berys Gwynne Executive Director of the Foundation for Development Cooperation (FDC), met with academics to discuss how the School could work with FDC. The Foundation for Development Cooperation is an independent ‘international development’ think-tank based here in Brisbane.
