Economics: Heathrow Expansion – An Economic Analysis With Professor Emiliya Lazarova & Professor Corrado Di Maria From University of East Anglia
15th May 2025 @ 14:10 - 14:55
In this Economics session, Emiliya Lazarova, Professor of Economics, and Corrado Di Maria, Professor of Environmental & Natural Resource Economics, from University of East Anglia will run an interactive talk for students on Heathrow Expansion – An Economic Analysis.
The debate surrounding Heathrow expansion is complex and involves weighing the potential economic benefits against the environmental and social costs. We all have our opinions on this matter.
Join this session to be part of this discussion and learn alongside us what economics can contribute to our understanding of how job creation, economic growth and international competitiveness may be assessed against the distributional and environmental aspects of this momentous project.
Will our opinions change as we learn more?
