The Department of Economics is one of the largest in Europe and is a centre of excellence for both research and teaching. Since 1983, we have been a leading voice in academic debate in the field of economics, and over the years we have consolidated our ability to attract researchers and students from around the world.
Our research helps to understand and tackle fundamental issues such as poverty, inequality, development, employment, climate and technological change, immigration, health and many others.
We are committed to excellence in basic and applied research, in undergraduate and postgraduate studies, and to the wider dissemination within society of research results and their implications for economic policy, as well as to sharing knowledge with institutions and businesses.
We consistently pursue the objectives of being a benchmark of excellence for research within the Italian public university system and within the wider European and global academic context; of developing teaching with a strong international focus, capable of attracting students from abroad and preparing our own students for the wider world; and of engaging with society beyond the academic sphere, by guiding incoming and outgoing students, promoting economic literacy within society, institutions and businesses, and contributing to the debate on public policy.
