The Barcelona Graduate School of Economics reaches its fifth year in a very delicate moment for world economies, in which Europe is not an exception. In his opening speech at the inaugural ceremony of the GSE, Alan Krueger advised that policymakers should draw from all branches of Economics in their decisionmaking. I would add that this is the way for Economics to provide the insights showing us how to solve the current crisis.
In this context, world-leading institutions like the Barcelona GSE contribute to the rigorous training of young professionals, economic analysts and researchers, thus providing the skills needed to improve our societies and to tackle the far-reaching challenges we are facing. In half a decade, the Barcelona GSE has grown quickly without sacrificing quality. We hope this pattern will continue to characterize the development of this institution and its academic community – a community with an enhanced role to play in the policymaking processes that will lead toward the much-awaited economic recovery.
Welcome fromJoaquín Almunia,Honorary President

Both the educational offer and the research activities of the Barcelona GSE reached new heights during the2010-11 year. The number of students in our master programs increased: from 148 to 163, as did the number of countries represented (increasing from 43 to 51). This year has also seen the consolidation of our master programs offer, and the early development of our continuing education activities, contributing to training professionals from Europe and all over the world. The support of the institutions providing scholarships has been, once again, crucial to our success in attracting top bright students.
On the research side, RePEc has ranked the BarcelonaGSE among the 10 top economics departments worldwide, and we have increased to 9 the number of European Research Council grants among our faculty, the highest of all economics institutions. Likewise, the research Endowment reached 13 million euros, helping the attraction and retention of top scholars. Finally, this year the GSE has changed its Chairman for the first time, with Prof. Ramon Marimon now heading the institution at this determinant stage of its consolidation.
Introduction fromEduard Vallory,Director-General
WELCOME
In times of crisis, countries, institutions and individuals reassess their past decisions, their past investments. The crisis is ruthless with some and puts pressure on all of these past investments and decisions. It’s time for good governance, foresight, and new decisions.
At the beginning of the year, Andreu Mas-Colell left the chairmanship of the Barcelona GSE to join the Catalan Government, taking responsibility for this assessment, as Minister of Economy and Knowledge. Having been part of the Barcelona GSE project since its inception, and member of its board, I was happy to accept the challenge of replacing him, for one main reason: it was a great decision to create the Barcelona GSE, as a joint venture of public academic institutions and private partners, to strengthen excellence in economic research and graduate studies through the scientific cooperation of four well-established groups.
Thanks to the effort of these researchers in the Barcelona area, the public and private financial support, the leadership of our Board, the guidance of our Scientific Council, and the everyday work of the Barcelona GSE staff, we arrive to our fifth anniversary with significant improvement in student intake, scientific impact, and institutional development. Although it is not for me to assess, I think we not only pass the crisis-test, but we should also fulfill Joaquín Almunia’s post-crisis high expectations.

Monetary policy. Immigration. Energy. Public health. As former Assistant Secretary for Economic Policy and Chief Economist at the U.S. Treasury Department Alan Krueger told GSE students at this year’s opening lecture, it is doubtful that these issues will be resolved without the active involvement of trained economists, both in the academic and professional spheres.
Graduate education at the Barcelona GSE aims to provide the tools and training needed to perform deep and meaningful analysis through an economic lens. The School’s academic offer includes one-year master programs, short summer schools, and intensive continuing education courses. Each program is designed and directed by expert faculty with a track record of personal achievement in their fields and a portfolio of successful students who have gone on to amaze us with their own accomplishments.
Recent graduates, young professionals, aspiring doctoral candidates, researchers, experienced economists and top-level executives and policymakers use Barcelona GSE programs as a springboard to propel them in the direction of their individual career goals. It is our job to inspire the energy and confidence our students will need to make that leap.

Competition and Market Regulation
Prof. Juan José GanuzaProgram Director
Competition and Market RegulationAs competition policy becomes increasingly relevant in both the public and private sectors, there is a great need for professionals prepared to address market regulation issues. The highly practical focus of the program assures that students graduate with sound job prospects in their chosen field and an advanced understanding of the interaction between economic theory and practice. Context for the academic coursework is provided by the Regulation and Competition Seminar Series, which brings specialists at the forefront of their field to present their research in a rigorous but non-technical manner. In addition to giving students a variety of perspectives on regulatory issues, it also gives them an opportunity to network with top professionals in the industry.

Reference Doctoral Programs
Graduate education at the Barcelona GSE rests upon the foundations of two renowned international reference doctoral programs: the GPEFM at UPF and the IDEA at UAB.
These two programs, both ranked in the top 15 in Europe, help impel the substantial research activity of the academic community. The majority of Barcelona GSE affiliated faculty are involved with the reference PhD programs, reinforcing the teaching excellence of the School.
Some students in the Barcelona GSE master programs aspire to continue their studies in a top level PhD program. Many of these students seek admission into the reference PhD programs of the Barcelona GSE. In the Class of 2010-11, 12 GSE master program graduates entered the second year of the official master that precedes entry into the programs.
Offered by the Department of Economics and Business of the UPF, GPEFM has awarded more than 180 PhD degrees since it was launched in 1993. GPEFM is a partner in the European Doctoral Program (EDP) in Quantitative Economics, a joint initiative with five other top European economics departments. econ.upf.edu/gpem
IDEA is offered by the Unit of Economic Analysis of the UAB.Since its launch in 1991, it has awarded 150 PhD degrees. IDEA is part of the European Network for Training in Economic Research (ENTER), a network of doctoral programs with seven other leading European economics departments. idea.uab.cat

Barcelona GSE Summer Programs
Total Attendance: 257 participants from 41 countriesIn June and July 2011, the Barcelona GSE offered three short summer school programs geared toward professionals and academics. The programs provide a diverse range of courses taught by renowned academics and leading practitioners. Each course lasts one week, and participants may combine courses from one or more of the programs to build a summer school experience tailored to their individual goals.
While the international student body comes from a variety of educational backgrounds, the majority are professionals holding at least a master degree, with a considerable number also holding PhDs.
This year, 16 participants from the 2010 edition of Barcelona GSE Summer Schools returned to build on the courses taken the previous summer. Several alumni of the Barcelona GSE master programs and reference PhD programs also joined the Summer School courses.
Banking 2011: 60 participants from 20 countriesDirectors: Prof. Xavier Freixas (UPF and Barcelona GSE) and Prof. Moshe Kim (University of Haifa)The Banking Summer School offers a variety of courses taught by recognized experts in their fields covering recent developments in different areas of banking, including theoretical and empirical aspects of banking, banking regulation and supervision, financial markets and payments systems. A call for papers gave students the chance to present their own research.
Labor Economics 2011: 61 participants from 21 countriesDirector: Prof. Maia Güell (University of Edinburgh, UPF (on leave), and Barcelona GSE)The Labor Economics Summer School covers a wide range of topics in labor economics from a variety of perspectives. In particular, the program offers courses that cover recent developments within the macro-labor, micro-labor and managerial-labor contexts. In each course, both theoretical and empirical aspects are covered.

The “Zvi Griliches” Research Seminar in the Economics of Innovation is hosted by the Barcelona GSE and sponsored by COTEC, a foundation for the promotion of technological innovation and awareness whose board includes the directors of many of Spain’s best-known companies, and FECYT, the Spanish Foundation for Science and Technology.
The program promotes interactions between academic researchers, innovation policy practitioners, statistical office analysts and PhD students with a general interest in analyzing technological innovation from an economic point of view. This is achieved through the combination of compelling keynote speakers and the presentation of a selection of leading research papers (only 17 out of 50 papers submitted were accepted for presentation).
In addition to the keynote speakers and participants coming from around the world, five graduates of the GSE’s Economics of Science and Innovation (MESI) master program attended the sessions. All program fees are waived for MESI graduates.

Intensive Course on Competition Economics: Abuse of Dominance
New for 2010-11, the course provides a thorough understanding of the most recent economic theories of monopolization, apply these concepts in practice, and review actual cases in the light of an effects-based approach.
Global Health Leadership Forum (GHLF)
This innovative program for senior health executives, now in its eighth edition, uses a mixture of case studies, seminars, workshops and an independent project to explore cutting edge approaches that address health policy issues of global importance.

This spring the Barcelona GSE held the first edition of its four-day Intensive Course on Competition Economics: Abuse of Dominance. Course sessions covered topics such as Predation, Rebates, and Exclusive Dealing, as well as case studies on intellectual property rights and energy. The wide appeal of the course topic drew participants from across the spectrum of professional and academic fields dealing with competition economics.
Among the 56 participants were presidents and directors of public and private institutions, judges, ministers, lawyers, economists and analysists, inspectors and case handlers, regulatory advisors, professors, postdocs, and doctoral students. Some had over thirty years of experience in the field, while others were newly-minted graduates. Demand for places was so high that the course “sold out” weeks before sessions began, leaving a number of applicants on the waitlist.

For the past three years, the Barcelona GSE has hosted the Global Health Leadership Forum (GHLF) on its campus. Created by the UPF Center for Research in Health and Economics (CRES) and the UC Berkeley School of Public Health, the GHLF is an executive education program consisting of two intense one-week sessions. The sessions are held six months apart in Barcelona and Berkeley respectively. The objective of the program is to bring together senior executives of nations (health ministers or senior policy leaders, legislators and regulators), senior executives of organizations (e.g. World Bank, OECD, PAHO) and senior executives of companies (insurance, pharmaceutical, health care delivery, care management) to share best practices, know-how, and the latest research through case studies, seminars, workshops, and field excursions. Each participant also prepares and presents an individual project.
Including speakers and participants, 39 senior health executives gathered on the GSE’s campus for the 2011 edition of the GHLF. They included 20 internationally reknowned speakers that work in diverse health related areas such as: health economics, insurance, policy, pharmaceuticals, and biotechnology. Countries represented included Canada, France, Greece, Indonesia, Kenya, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, the United Kingdom, and the United States.

Calvó-Armengol International Prize in Economics
The Calvó-Armengol Prize honors the memory of GSE Affiliated Professor and ICREA-UAB Professor Antoni Calvó-Armengol, a beloved member of the GSE community and highly esteemed researcher from Andorra who passed away unexpectedly in November 2007 at the age of 37.
The prize endeavours to become one of the most prestigious prizes recognizing young economists and social scientists. It is awarded every two years to a top researcher in economics or social sciences younger than 40 years old for his or her contribution to the theory and comprehension of the mechanisms of social interaction.
The first prizewinner (2009) was Prof. Esther Duflo (MIT). The second recipient was selected in July 2011. He is Prof. Roland Fryer (Harvard University). The youngest African-American to receive tenure from Harvard and one of Time Magazine’s 100 Most Influential People of 2009, Prof. Fryer is an energetic and entrepreneurial researcher who analyzes race and inequality using a diverse set of theoretical, empirical, and experimental tools to shed new light on the role of race in social interactions.
