Our main activities are scientific research and economic policy advice. The strategic success of our institute lies in conducting intensive basic research, which forms the basis for consulting governments and private organisations.
The Swiss Institute for Empirical Economic Research, together with the Swiss Institute for International Economics and Applied Economic Research, sponsors the award for the best Master's degree in Quantitative Economics and Finance at the University of St.Gallen.
Through this initiative, we recognise outstanding academic achievements and support excellence in economics education.
