Chair ofInternational Economics

Prof. Gonçalo Pina, Chair Owner of International Economics, Berlin campus, ESCP At the Chair of International Economics, we study the global economic environment in which businesses, households, and policy makers operate. Our research and teaching incorporate theoretical and empirical aspects, with a focus on real-world examples, to help navigate decision making in an international context.

Recent research focuses on the effect of trade-shocks in monetary unions, the role of financial innovation in international sovereign debt markets, and the effect of financial liberalization on economic growth. Our aim is for future business leaders to develop the necessary tools to navigate a changing global economic environment.
