New Affiliated Professors and post-docs welcomed at BSE Trobada
Some of the new BSE Affiliated Professors and post-docs at the 2019 Trobada
On October 4, 2019, the Barcelona School of Economics held the annual "Trobada" for Affiliated Professors, post-docs, and PhD students in the BSE research community. The Trobada is an opportunity for researchers from all four of the BSE academic units to welcome new colleagues and catch up with returning colleagues at the beginning of the academic year. BSE Director Teresa Garcia-Milà and BSE Chair Paula Beato presided over this year's Trobada.
A sampling of new research from all academic units
Every year the Trobada features presentations of research by members of the BSE community. This year, all four projects were presented by female economists in the BSE community:
- Ursula Mello (IAE-CSIC and BSE)
“Does Affirmative Action in Higher Education Impact High School Students?” - Katerina Petrova (UPF and BSE)
“A Generalised Lp-Norm Filter for Time-Varying Parameter Models” - Victoria Vanasco (CREI-UPF and BSE)
“The Good, the Bad, and the Complex: Product Design with Imperfect Information” - Hanna Wang (MOVE-UAB and BSE)
“Fertility and Family Leave Policies in Germany: Optimal Policy Design in a Dynamic Framework”
There are now 158 BSE Affiliated Professors from 31 countries
Affiliated Professors are tenured or tenure-track faculty members from the BSE academic units. They form the core of all BSE educational and research activities. They direct and teach in the BSE Master's programs; design and teach in BSE summer schools and professional courses; organize research events such as the BSE Summer Forum workshops; and serve in leadership roles that shape the evolution of the BSE at an institutional level.
Affiliation with the BSE gives researchers access to initiatives such as the BSE Seed Grants, Research Recognition Program, and Barcelona School of Economics Working Papers Series, and links them with a community of more than 150 Affiliated Professors working on topics across the spectrum of Economic science.
