Economics
Welcome to the Economics section. In addition to world class theoretical and empirical research, our section members actively contribute to society by participating in government committees and serving as board members in public and private organisations, and by contributing to the public debate in newspapers and electronic media.
The section hosts four seminar series that feature international and local speakers. We have a strong track record of securing external funding, which enables us to support talent development of our PhD students and postdoctoral researchers. Additionally, we excel in delivering high-quality research-based education across a broad range of educational programs.
