The Institutions and Political Economy Research Group (IPERG) at the University of Barcelona (UB) aims to sponsor several candidates for the Juan de la Cierva Postdoctoral Call by the Spanish Ministry for Science and Innovation.
IPERG is a research center directed by Prof. Carles Boix. The main goal of IPERG is to foster the study the role of institutions (from political regimes to parties and electoral norms) on the emergence of political order and stability, the political representation of individual and social interests, and economic development and redistribution.
A second objective of IPERG is to encourage greater integration among various parts of the social sciences in Barcelona, particularly among political science, economics, sociology and history. Its fellows’ research is funded by the European Research Council, AGAUR, Fundació La Caixa, and the Spanish Ministry for Science and Innovation.
