Who we are

The Global Center for International Economics (GCIE) was established in 2020. It is an excellence center of the University of St. Gallen dedicated to the study of international economics. Our research interests lie in the fields of Macroeconomics, Development, Political Economy and International Trade.

What we do

We conduct research at the academic frontier. A key focus of the center is to also translate these findings into policy-relevant findings, develop research-driven teaching, and facilitate exchange between our student body, academics, and policy-makers.
