Economics, Finance, Management and Public Policy


Economic development is a core concern for our societies, with finance playing a key role. For their part, public authorities, private-sector decision-makers and other social stakeholders are demanding to be better informed about the issues and mechanisms at work in these fields. The ULB is actively developing research activities in these fields, of both a fundamental and applied nature. Approaches used vary from team to team and from their orientation (fundamental research / applied research), and range from modelling the behaviour of economic players (individuals, households, companies, public authorities) to their empirical validation, via the use of laboratory experiments, historical perspectives, qualitative and institutional analyses. Moreover, several teams are actively involved in developing mathematical and statistical tools in the field of economics and finance. All in all, the research teams working in the field of economics, management, finance and public policy cover a wide spectrum of issues, including the banking and finance sectors, competition policy and economic regulation, European integration, globalisation, regional development, the economies of developing countries, the labour market, education, health, the environment, entrepreneurship, marketing, innovation and RD, the non-commercial sector and HR management.
