Three studies undertaking by Economics Department researchers are featured in the latest Research at Stellenbosch University 2014 publication.

A third study, by Johan Fourie and Dieter von Fintel, shows how French Huguenots maintained an advantage in wine-making for nearly a century after their arrival at the Cape in 1688.
