The Business and Finance program covers four major areas of research: Accounting, Finance, Management, and Marketing, with the possibility to specialize in several subfields. Our program is strongly centered on providing the necessary tools and skills to do insightful cutting-edge analytic research with a very strong empirical foundation. We provide a collaborative, supportive and intellectually stimulating research environment for students to start a solid academic career and to publish at the highest standards of the international scientific community.

Our faculty members are leading scholars in their fields. They contribute to the academic community by publishing in leading research journals, such as: Academy of Management Review, Academy of Management Journal, Administrative Science Quarterly, Organization Science, Management Science, Strategic Management Journal, Journal of Accounting and Economics, The Accounting Review, Accounting Organizations and Society, Review of Accounting Studies, Econometrica, Journal of Finance, Review of Financial Studies, Journal of Financial Economics, Review of Finance, Journal of Marketing Research, and Marketing Science, among others. Visiting professors from top international schools complement our permanent Faculty.
