The École Universitaire de Recherche : Research

Several research-related activities are funded or co-financed via the Paris Graduate School of Economics (PgSE).

The PgSE is organised into eight research groups that bring together researchers and PhD candidates:

The Opening Economics initiative is co-financed by PgSE.

Supporting research:

  • 30 seminar programs are currently led and housed by PSE, comprising more than 420 sessions each year. PgSE co-finances the seminars via the associated theme groups because such meetings for exchange and collaborative work are an essential step in the research process.
  • The foundation organises numerous events throughout the year, including international colloquia, scientific workshops, public lectures, and internal events. PSE and PgSE aim to video-record as many of the events open to the general public as possible, which are then made available on the PSE’s Youtube channel.

Sponsored projects:

  • Several times a year, an appeal is made for doctoral and other research project proposals, to be supported through specially allocated PgSE research funds.
  • Created by PSE and developed within the PSE/GENES partnership, the Institute for Public Policy has received an EUR financial support.
  • Based at PSE, the World Inequality Lab (WIL) is co-directed by five PSE/Berkeley researchers and involves a vast international network of economists. This lab also receives EUR funding.
  • Economics for everybody: PSE’s economists are engaged in activities that aim to make their research products accessible to as many people as possible, through articles, interviews, infographics, comics, podcasts.
