How are economic decisions made, and what are the consequences of these decisions? How should competing firms make pricing and investment decisions?

The Department is built around a number of internationally renowned research groups in a wide range of fields, providing high quality research and teaching in economics.
The faculty members constitute an enthusiastic group of women and men who delivers important contributions, both to the international research community, the government, and the public debate.
