The Department of Economics is one of the largest departments within the Faculty of Social Sciences with approximately employees from a dozen countries. Each year about 1, students participate in undergraduate (BA), graduate (MA) and PhD level courses. The research conducted at the department is mainly focused on labour economics, macroeconomics, political economics and public economics. Researchers at the department are frequently engaged as experts by the government and by the media, and interact with the society at large in a number of ways.
Uppsala Immigration Lab (UIL) is a part of the Uppsala Center for Labor Studies (UCLS) that hosts a broad and leading research environment in empirical labor economics at the Department of Economics.
Uppsala Immigration Lab aims to further strengthen the activities through collaborations within academia and with the surrounding society. We study central social issues linked to migration, integration and urban development. Our research has a quantitative emphasis and uses rich data and state-of-the-art methods to create new knowledge. Our projects are run in collaboration with leading scholars in Sweden and abroad.
