Research
The Faculty of Economics and Management has a strong focus on research and its members regularly publish in the leading journals of their fields.
Text
The Faculty has been able to recruit several top researchers previously employed in highly renown Universities within and outside Europe.
The Research of our Faculty has performed very well in the ANVUR rankings. You can find a list of representative publications of our Faculty in Management, Economics, Econometrics, Mathematics and Statistics, Tourism, Law, Politics and Philosophy and Accounting and Finance.
It runs active seminar series and members frequently collaborate with researchers at outstanding institutions in Europe and overseas. You can see last year’s seminars by field here: Management, Economics, Statistics and Political Science and Financial Markets and Regulation. You can also see forthcoming events below.
The Faculty disseminates its research also through a working paper series, BEMPS - Bozen Economics and Management Paper Series. Researchers as well as students publish articles about economic, social and political issues on the EconBlog.
The research activities are organised into five macro areas, complemented by the faculty’s close collaboration with the Competence Centre for Sustainability, the Competence Centre for Sustainable Tourism and the Competence Centre for the Management of Cooperatives on related research themes.
Vice Dean for Research: Prof. Per Linus Siming
