We are a group of pedagogues and researchers who are curious about current economic, social, and societal issues and challenges.
- The well-being of our society plays a significant role in our research activities. We try to share our passion about economics with our students.
- Cutting-edge results and methods of the national as well as the international are implemented in our teaching.
- We provide our students with subjects which broaden and deepen their economic knowledge, improve their empirical, statistical, and data processing skills. This furnishes them with a comparative advantage, which enables them to find a job in the labor market.
Where you can find us: 4th floor, block B (old building)
