We strive to be true thought leaders who push the boundaries of economic thinking and make the world a better place.

Our mission is to tackle five major challenges the world is facing today: achieving a sustainable economy, managing the digital revolution, overcoming the globalization crisis, reducing poverty and inequality, and developing effective public policies. Understanding human behavior and developing research methods are crucial underpinnings of this mission – and a long-standing focus of our department.
