Research
The Department of Economics has developed a research strategy aimed at achieving high societal and organizational impact studies based on the latest methodological developments and addressing issues related to the concerns of economic and public decision-makers. The recruitment of new professors favors applications from researchers with high potential and/or international recognition in their field.
The research of the Department of Economics revolves around two main themes:
- Microeconomics and applied game theory, Industrial organization, Health Economics, Experimental economics.
- Macroeconomics, Monetary economy, International economy and Institutional economy.

In addition to the geographical proximity, the Department of Economics has common interests with the ThEMA researchers, in particular in industrial economics, theory of applied games, analysis of the labor market, international economy and monetary and banking economics. ThEMA and the Department of Economics jointly organize a weekly seminar in Economic analysis, Econometrics and Finance (AEEF) with the participation of very prestigious guests.
