My research will analyse the effect of a macro-economic shock (i.e. the covid-19 pandemic) on the resilience of Socially Responsible Investment (SRI) funds.
To achieve this I will use a mixture of quantitative and qualitative data to analyse how a wide range of organisations (in the same economy) weathered the covid-19 pandemic. Specifically, I will analyse the effect of a macro-economic shock (i.e. covid-19 pandemic) on the resilience of these different types of organisations.
These different types of organisations will be categorised based on their ‘impact-focus’ and then grouped with organisations that have a similar level of ‘impact-focus’ (based on my ‘impact-focus’ scale). These organisations will be assumed to be - at least partially - the underlying assets of the SRI funds (and Non-SRI funds). Therefore, an analysis of the resilience of these underlying assets, will provide an indirect descriptive analysis of the effect that a macro-economic shock (i.e., the covid-19 pandemic) has on the resilience of SRI funds (and Non-SRI funds).
This distinguishes my research because it will focus on studying the resilience of SRI funds, whereas current academic research is primarily focused on their financial performance.

Following this we have explained how the UK’s central bank (Bank of England, BoE) functions. Including an outline of both the monetary policies and prudential regulatory approaches available to the BoE to ensure monetary and financial stability of the UK economy. We have then analysed the economic impacts of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and the steep increases in supply-side inflationary pressures - and commodity market volatility - that it created. Following this, we have summarised the actions of the Financial Policy Committee (FPC) and explained how their actions fine-tuned the operation of the monetary transmission channels. Ensuring that the required conditions were in place to maintain the effective implementation of monetary policy. We then analysed the interconnected application of monetary policy (by the Monetary Policy Committee [MPC]) and prudential regulation by the FPC. Finally, we compared and contrasted the monetary policy responses of the European Central Bank (ECB) and the BoE in response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

I have then outlined the transmission channels that monetary policy operates through and explained how they have a wider impact on the aggregate economic activity of the UK economy. Following this, I have analysed the role of prudential regulation in maintaining the long-term stability and competitiveness of the UK banking system (and the UK economy as a whole); and considered both the areas of alignment and conflict between the BoE and the UK’s financial regulation system. Finally, I have outlined the limitations of monetary policy to impact the aggregate economic activity through it’s transmission channels due to primarily a number of critical issues that impact the effectiveness of the BoE, their monetary policy and their transmission channels; and the secondary and tertiary effects that need to be considered when analysing the effectiveness of the BoE’s transmission channels. Closing with my opinion and reasoning for why a wealth tax would be an effective fiscal policy to support the impact of the BoE to influence the aggregate economic activity via it’s transmission channels.

Corporate finance refers to managing a business’ financial position, growth, shareholder and stakeholder value. While personal finance focuses on individuals and families, e.g. incomes, debts, credit cards, life insurance, mortgages and savings accounts (Hayes, 2022). To analyse these aspects of finance, it is necessary to have a foundational understanding of the six principles of finance.
We consider the socio-economic factors that affect income, from both the corporate and personal finance perspective. We analyse how the finances of commercial firms and individuals were impacted by the economic factor of recession and the social factor of the climate crisis & social unrest. We then consider the institutions involved, the monetary and fiscal policies used to deal with a crisis, and the options available to corporates versus those available to individuals when working to manage their finances through a crisis.

It is an essential behaviour that is prevalent across all species, however, aside from our own intuitive knowledge about the importance of sleep, there is currently little certainty as to the specific functions of sleep. There have been many theories as to why we sleep, such as for rest and repair, information consolidation and for energy conservation. And while there is evidence to support the different theories there is still no clear-cut support for any one theory. In this paper I will focus on the chemical messengers and neural pathways associated with sleep and the effects of sleep deprivation both physiologically and on behaviour. I will then use that data to examine some of the possible functions of sleep.
