www.barcelonagse.eu
The Barcelona GSE is an institution of graduate education founded in 2006 as a result of the joint efforts of four high caliber and well-established academic bodies:
Universitat Pompeu Fabra – Department of Economics
Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona – Unit of Economic Analisis
Institute for Economic Analysis (IAE-CSIC)
Center for Research in International Economics (CRE I)
The confluence of the strong community of researchers and bodies, fostered by the Barcelona Research Network, forges collaborativesynergies.
The Barcelona GSE derives its core strength from the faculty of its founding academic institutions, which employ over a hundred renowned scholars.
The Barcelona Graduate School of Economics ranks between 2nd and 3rd in economics research output in continental Europe when the research of its founding universities, the UPF and UAB, is combined.
