Affiliated professors and invited experts debate financial system regulation at 11th "Trobada"
The 11th annual BSE "Trobada" took place on October 18, 2013 at Casa Milà (La Pedrera), home of BSE board member institution Fundació Catalunya-La Pedrera.
The Economics "Trobada" is an annual gathering of BSE affiliated professors from all of the School's academic units that marks the beginning of the academic year, introduces new affiliated professors and their work to the research community, and serves as a venue for debate and idea exchange on current Economics issues. The day's agenda included three presentations from new affiliated professors (see right) and a roundtable debate on "Financial System Regulation."
