CERGE-EI /sɜːrdʒ.iː.aɪ/ is an academic institution that provides an American-style PhD program in economics, a US-chartered Master of Arts program in Applied Economics (the MAE program), and the UPCES study abroad program. CERGE-EI also conducts research in theoretical and policy-related economics.
The CERGE-EI acronym stands for Center for Economic Research and Graduate Education – Economics Institute. CERGE-EI is a joint workplace (partnership) of two separate entities: the Center for Economic Research and Graduate Education of Charles University in Prague and the Economics Institute of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic. CERGE-EI is also a New York State Education Department entity with a permanent charter for its degree-granting educational programs awarded by the New York State Board of Regents. The center was founded in 1991 by a group that included Jan Švejnar and Jozef Zieleniec with a goal to educate a new generation of economists from post-communist countries. Today students come to study at CERGE-EI from Central and Eastern Europe, Russia and the former Soviet republics, Central Asia, and other countries. The institution is located in the Schebek Palace in the center of Prague, Czech Republic.
