Research Institute
A short introduction
The Research Institute stimulates fundamental and applied economic research within the four themes of the research program, and brings together researchers to stimulate discussion on theories, methodologies and empirical results.
Research fellows, appointed by the board of the Institute, are at the center of the activities. Research fellows are faculty members with an excellent track record in economic research, with highly regarded publications in international economic journals. The fellows play an active role within the institute in terms of organizing research activities, teaching graduate courses and supervising PhD students.
To stimulate discussion and interaction between fellows, PhD students and visitors, the institute organizes several seminar series on a wide variety of economic topics. There are also frequent symposia and workshops attended and given by national and international economic experts. For dissemination of the research results, and to enhance discussion with colleagues, Tinbergen Institute pre-publishes the research results in a discussion paper series.
International scholars visit the institute to collaborate with
fellows and to discuss their work, while researchers may visit the institute on a
short-term basis or as post-doctoral fellows on a long-term basis.
