*GRAPE (Group for Research in APplied Economics)ย *was founded in early 2011
as a research center with primary focus on microeconometrics, overlapping
generations modelling and experimental methods.ย Soon, GRAPE was
reinforced by new additional projects along these lines of expertise,
primarily focusing on labor economics, public economics and development
economics.ย
Our team consists of junior and experienced researchers, teamed up along
the research projects. We are an independent institution, funded on a project
basis, with grants from national and international institutions.ย As of 2013
it is operated by FAME (Foundation of Admirers and Mavens of Economics) [3].
It is our mission to enable junior researchers gain hands on experience and
engage in relevant research.ย
