Board appoints new Barcelona GSE Research Professors

Research Professorships are funded by the Barcelona GSE research endowment to increase the critical mass of top scientists in its academic community.
Professors Flip Klijn (IAE-CSIC and Barcelona GSE) and Inés Macho-Stadler (UAB and Barcelona GSE) have been named Research Professor by the Barcelona Graduate School of Economics Board of Trustees. Professor Hannes Mueller (IAE-CSIC and Barcelona GSE) has been named Associate Research Professor.
The distinction of Barcelona GSE Research Professor is a joint appointment between the Barcelona GSE and one of its academic units. The appointments began in 2009 to increase the critical mass of top scientists at the Barcelona GSE.
Research Professorships are funded by the Barcelona GSE research endowment, which is dedicated exclusively to supporting these appointments. With the new appointments, there are now 23 Barcelona GSE Research Professors, five Associate Research Professors, and four Emeritus Research Professors.
