The research community at the Barcelona School of Economics (BSE) is home to two doctoral programs:
- The International Doctorate in Economic Analysis (IDEA) at Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB), organized jointly with BSE
- The PhD Program in Economics, Finance, and Management at Universitat Pompeu Fabra (UPF), organized jointly with BSE
Both PhD programs prepare their graduates for success in a highly competitive job market and have a well-established track record of placements in Economics departments, central banks, and research institutions around the world.
