IGIER
Innocenzo Gasparini Institute for Economic Research
The Innocenzo Gasparini Institute for Economic Research was established in 1990, in order to seek to reverse the brain drain affecting European economic research.
The aim of IGIER is to attract some of the best European young economists normally working abroad (in the US, especially), and to supply them with a research environment similar to those prevalent in American universities, where they can work on their research projects while interacting with Italian researchers.
