George Hall has received a runner-up award in the national final of the Institute of Economics Affairs Monetary Policy Essay Competition for undergraduates. He presented an analysis of the role of monetary aggregates in predicting inflationary pressure and answered questions from a panel of judges - despite not having studied the topic at School.

The other four finalists included undergraduates from Oxford, Cambridge, and LSE midway through their Economics degrees. As a result of this tremendous achievement, George has been offered a research internship at the Institute of Economic Affairs.
