AMSE

Aix-Marseille School of Economics (AMSE) is a center of excellence bringing together a research center (UMR 7316), a school of economics (from undergraduate to master’s level and a doctoral program), and a department dedicated to the dissemination of scientific knowledge.

AMSE is an original and innovative project focused on the fundamental issues facing our societies. By combining research and teaching, it aims to train a new generation of economists capable of understanding the transformations of a world in crisis and of putting their knowledge at the service of citizens and decision-makers.

Research Themes

Research is organized around three main areas:

  • Area 1: Economic crises and the crisis of macroeconomics
  • Area 2: Development, democratic transitions, migration, and growth
  • Area 3: Health and environmental crises

Research is structured around four methodological fields:

  • Quantitative macroeconomics and macro-dynamics
  • Network theory
  • Time-series econometrics and panel data
  • Big data.
