Economics in Tilburg has a long tradition. In fact, the discipline can be
identified with Tilburg University since its establishment in 1927.
*Mission*: From its long record and performance it is not difficult to derive
a broad characterization of the department. The department of economics is a
group of ambitious people, dedicated to the economic discipline, eager to do
fundamental and applied research, enthusiastic to teach and work with the
students, willing to interact and collaborate with fellow members. The common
goal is to achieve excellence and relevance, both individually and together.
The open and flexible organization of the department is an important
condition to realize this mission and to guarantee the attractiveness of our
jobs.
*Research*: The ambitions of the department in conducting research are high.
Criteria to get tenure are very competitive at this point. Achievements
include a continuous flow of top and very good publications, as well as
scientific citations, in a variety of fields. People are mobilized in the
macro/micro research group of CentER, but often they also participate in
other groups, e.g. the finance group. Moreover, department members
successfully collaborate in research centers like Tilec, Netspar, Tiber, TSC
and EBC. The seminar culture in the department is rich and the number of
grants and research subsidies (NWO, EU) is significant. Contract research is
scarce but growing.
*Education*: Education is well developed and broad. The department owns (and
manages) three educational degrees: the the BSc Economics (specialized
and selective), the BSc Economie & Bedrijfseconomie (broad) and the MSc
Economics (incorporating four specialized tracks). The department also
participates in other degrees of the School: macro and micro courses for
students in the business programs, basic and topic courses in the Research
Master, advanced courses in several other MSc programs of TiSEM. Moreover,
the department also teaches in educational programs of other Schools, such as
Law, Liberal Arts, Honors and Outreaching.
