Market, Organizations and Votes in Economics - MOVE
MOVE was jointly created in December 2008 as a research consortium by the Catalan Ministry for Universities and Research and the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona and located on the Bellaterra campus of that University. In 2015, MOVE became a private foundation with the support of Fundación Urrutia Elejalde and Fundació Parc de Recerca de la Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona.
MOVE’s main objective is to create the conditions for a leap forward in the excellence of its already substantial economics research and educational programs, which have made the Bellaterra campus an important part of the research community within Barcelona, Spain and Europe. MOVE plans to create an environment that will allow its present fellows to excel, and that will stimulate the arrival of new researchers at both the junior and senior levels.
Part of MOVE's activities will be aimed at gaining the trust of the research community, in order to create an environment of excellence where ambitious researchers can build successful, stimulating careers. Its visitor program will attract top researchers to sojourn in our environment. MOVE will also organize meetings on advanced topics and help improve the Barcelona School of Economics’ Masters Programs and the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona’s IDEA PhD Program.
MOVE Research Areas: Mechanism Design, Quantitative Economics and Economics of Science and Innovation.
