The Institute for World Economy (IWE) was founded in 1967. Its main goals are the study and analysis of national and international economy projects, as well as their impact. A fundamental pillar of IWE’s activity is to provide useful tools for analysing the economic situation to the national authorities and support the robust growth of the economy.
From its founding to the present, hundreds of studies and syntheses have been created, providing important support to decision makers. Furthermore, under the IWE umbrella, researchers belonging to the Institute published numerous books and university courses that have served as the basis for professional training for multiple generations of students, in particular those enrolled in the Bucharest University of Economic Studies.

What we have achieved:
The research activities of IWE are reflected in studies, working papers, policy papers, books, articles, academic conferences, seminars, and roundtable discussions. These activities have been policy oriented, by supporting national authorities and business environment with economic knowledge. IWE has participated in research projects and developed interinstitutional collaboration with national and international organisations. One of the most important tasks of the IWE is also to study the impact climate change has on the economy and society and also its effects on the circular economy. In some of the previous projects, IWE provided research assistance for spin-offs and start-ups. IWE has a support lab for innovation and research projects and a team of experienced researchers providing a high-quality PhD program in Economics within the Romanian Academy’s advanced PhD programme.
