Politics & Economics Research Group
POLITICS & ECONOMICS RESEARCH GROUP (PERG)
The PERG seminar series provides a shared platform for discussing new exciting research in the areas of international relations, comparative politics, political economy, macroeconomics, and environmental economics. The series meets four to five times per semester, featuring presentations of ongoing research by international scholars researchers.
From all across IE University, the Politics & Economics Research Group brings together all faculty members who are interested in democracy, development, political economy, macroeconomics, environmental economics, voting behavior, ethnic conflict, international trade and finance, and social entrepreneurship. The seminar series provides a platform for discussing new and exciting research in those fields, featuring presentations of cutting-edge research by internal and external researchers. On average, we invite 10 external speakers and 6 internal speakers (IE or Madrid-based) per year.
These are intended to be work-in-progress research seminars, open to all IE students, professors, and a selected list of invitees outside of IE—mostly academics and researchers in other Madrid-based institutions. The purpose of the series is to promote unpublished, cutting-edge research, and our speakers tend to be invited faculty members and academic researchers from universities and academic institutions all around the world
All interested are welcome to attend.
