Using an online content analysis approach, this study analyses current units of study in every Australian public university that provides undergraduate tertiary education in economics. In specific terms, this study offers a detailed analysis of what economics education is currently being taught, together with the types of university entities providing this education. Overall, the analysis presented here reveals that the study of economics might appear relatively strong on the surface, especially, although not unexpectedly, among the elite Group of Eight institutions. However, the study also shows that economics offerings are now being spread across various university entities that do not count economics among their core disciplinary offerings, such as health and environmental science. In addition, several universities have developed new undergraduate degrees incorporating but not focusing exclusively on economics, in most cases seemingly as a means to repackage and extend humanities or social science offerings such as philosophy and political science.</p>","PeriodicalId":47484,"journal":{"name":"Economic Record","volume":"101 333","pages":"186-202"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-02-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1475-4932.12866","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144492861","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While recessions can accelerate this process, the more ‘random’ nature of the COVID-19 shock coupled with policy responses that prioritised preservation could disrupt productivity-enhancing reallocation. Our analysis based on novel high-frequency employment data for Australia shows that labour reallocation (and firm exit) remained connected to firm productivity over 2020 and 2021. However, outside of the initial acute phase of the shock, the relationship weakened significantly compared to history. Australia's job retention scheme (JobKeeper) initially reinforced the connection between growth and productivity, supporting more productive firms. But it became more distortive over time and as the economy recovered.</p>","PeriodicalId":47484,"journal":{"name":"Economic Record","volume":"101 333","pages":"142-168"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-02-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144492580","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
