The Paris School of Economics develops economics research of the highest international standard and disseminates the results. Bringing together a community of 140 researchers and around 200 PhD students, PSE offers teaching in Masters, Summer School and Executive Education programs at the cutting edge of the discipline. Founded by the CNRS, the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales, the École Normale Supérieure, the École des Ponts-ParisTech, INRA, and the University of Paris 1 Panthéon Sorbonne, the PSE project involves private and institutional partners. In 2017, PSE is among the Top 6 Economics departments in the world, and in the Top 12 Institutions (https://ideas.repec.org). Now firmly established as a feature on the global academic landscape, PSE breaks down all kinds of barriers in order to attain its goal of excellence: it brings together the university and the grands écoles, promotes exchanges between economic analysis and the other social sciences, delivers its scholarship to a broad public, and supports the work of its teams in multiple partnerships with public institutions and private organisations.
