The Barcelona Graduate School of Economics, commonly referred to as Barcelona GSE, is an independent institution of research and graduate education located in Barcelona, Spain. The School offers a variety of Master's degrees in Economics, Finance, and Data Science. It has been ranked by RePEc among the top Economics Departments in the world.
The Barcelona GSE was founded in 2006 as a joint venture of four academic institutions (Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, IAE-CSIC and CREI). The School is supported by private and public institutions.
The School was legally recognized by the Government of Catalonia in October 2006 as a foundation dedicated to higher education.
The Barcelona GSE's Scientific Council works with faculty and administrators to ensure the quality of teaching, research, and admissions procedures. It is chaired by Prof. Hugo Sonnenschein, President Emeritus of the University of Chicago. The Council is made up of leading academics, including 13 Nobel Laureates in Economics.
Members of the Scientific Council
One of the Barcelona GSE's main objectives is to make Barcelona a worldwide primary reference in economic research.
The GSE community constitutes one of the leading clusters of economics research in Europe. Three studies in the Journal of the European Economic Association placed it near the top of its rankings. According to P. Kalaitzidakis, T.P. Mamuneas, and T. Stengos “Ranking of Academic Journals and Institutions in Economics” (May 2002), it should be ranked 2nd, when their top 30 journals are taken into account (period 1995-1999). In another study by M. Lubrano, L. Bauwens, A. Kirman and C. Protopopescu, “Ranking Economics Departments in Europe: A Statistical Approach” (May 2003), the GSE community should be ranked #3 when their top journal list is considered (period 1991-2000). And according to J. Drèze and F. Estevan “Research and Higher Education in Economics: Can We Deliver The Lisbon Objectives?” (May 2007) the Barcelona GSE’s total research output would rank between second and third in Europe.
