Faculty and Graduate Research
Our research mission is to perform frontier research that advances our knowledge in both theoretical and applied economics, and to disseminate that knowledge mainly through publication in prominent peer-reviewed journals. Guided by the University's long-standing commitment to the Catholic social tradition, we stress policy-relevant research that contributes to important debates on economic, social, and political problems facing humanity.
