About the department

We are a highly international and research-oriented department. More than 30 full-time junior and senior professors together with numerous PhD students form a community dedicated to studying all aspects of economics. We believe that science prospers in an open intellectual climate and in a fruitful dialogue between theory and empirics.

Throughout its history, the department has hosted eminent economists such as Menger, Wieser, Böhm-Bawerk and later Schumpeter and Hayek. To the right, you can find a link with further information about our department. You can also find out about current job openings.
