Economic Theory 

This area of research is particularly important for the CIDE’s department of Economics under the perspective that every kind of economic research, whether abstract or applied, and any economic policy recommendation are based on economic theory.  Substantial work within this area is focused on modeling economic and social phenomena, either from observing the state of nature or from experimental methods.  There is a strong effort from the faculty who work in economic theory to have serious research and teaching interests in one or more applied fields so the strong emphasis of the empirical work at CIDE’s economic department gains from the theoretical perspective.  Theoretical research at CIDE is focused in studying markets and economic institutions as well as statistical and analytical tools.
