In 2025, we will become ISEG Research.

The research group comprises Information Systems, Operations Management, and Innovation Management experts. The rapid evolution of digital technologies such as big data, data analytics, virtual and augmented reality, metaverse, internet of things, mobile technologies, and blockchain poses significant challenges for organizations and society in general.

Principal Investigator - Nuno Crespo

The Development Studies and Sustainable Transitions group is set for a fundamental rethinking of development in the current times of uncertainty and insecurity, with profound shifts in global relations, inequalities, and forms of exclusion. It is a collective of scholars empowered to inform transformative and structural change, under the recognition of global, climatic, economic, political, and institutional challenges.

Principal Investigator - Alexandre Abreu

The group maintains a dual commitment to advancing Statistics and Econometric Theory, while also applying these advancements to tackle pressing societal challenges, including: Investment and Risk Management; Financial Markets; Macroeconomic Policy; Urban Planning; Econometric Applications in Public Policy and Education; Environmental and Health Economics; Demographic Changes and Economic Implications.

Principal Investigator - Adriana Cornea-Madeira

The research integrates diverse fields, like sociology of work and organizations, human resources management, organizational behavioural, entrepreneurship and knowledge management labour and health economics, gender studies and welfare policy, engaging in ground-breaking studies resulting from collaboration and co-creation with firms, social partners, non-governmental organizations, governmental agencies and end-users.

Principal Investigator - Ricardo Alcobia Rodrigues

The group conducts applied policy-focused studies in finance and accounting, addressing the current economic and regulatory landscape. This includes a wide array of issues such as ESG, climate change, financial risk management, digital finance, accounting practices, globalization of capital markets, geopolitical tensions, and more. Additionally, we address applied econometric methods, quantitative finance, dynamic cross-market linkages, advanced accounting practices, machine learning, and AI applications.

Principal Investigator - Mariya Gubareva

The group focuses on long-term economic and financial analysis, supported by quantitative archival data on states and markets. History better captures the dynamics of institutional and cultural contexts and the diversity of innovative responses that have emerged in societies, businesses, and economies, while guiding long-term policy and economic decisions.

Principal Investigator - Antonio Castro Henriques

The group is dedicated to applied and policy-oriented research, and will continue working on issues about the Portuguese and European economies, but also delving into global economic issues such as climate change, corruption, economic freedom, external imbalances, financial-market risk, fiscal policy, and more. Additionally, a smaller team specializes in theory, methods, and quantitative macroeconomics, targeting top-quality, generalist journals with topics including counterfactual macro-epidemiology, estimation, and identification in DSGE models, and income-distribution dynamics.

Principal Investigator - João Jalles

In Operations Research, the group will tackle problems of aerial vehicle routing for power line inspections, faculty timetabling, healthcare system optimization, port logistics in supply chain management, food bank management, sustainable network design, and warehouse management in e-commerce.

In Actuarial Science, the group will expand our studies to include realistic models of dynamic risk sharing and management, and problems related to longevity risks in pension funds and health care.

In Mathematical Finance, the group will focus on the Green Energy Transition and related financial derivatives. The group will study the pricing of renewable energy certificates focusing on structural models based on the underlying factors, and plan to study several models for the sustainable use of renewable natural resources, like fisheries and forests.

Principal Investigator - Cristina Requejo

We study the impact of international trade on labor markets, examining how it influences the dissemination of ideas and skills, shaping inequality. We explore just-in-time trade, investigating its roles in inventory management, networks, and supply chains, and how these shape global economic dynamics. Leveraging on newly available Portuguese admin microdata, like transaction and personal income tax records, we examine the interplay between firms, intangibles, and customer markets to examine firm dynamics and productivity. In urban economics, we continue to investigate the broader costs of Portugal's housing affordability crisis, to inform more effective urban policy strategies.

Principal Investigator - João Pereira dos Santos

The group explores relevant topics regarding organizations' strategy and marketing considering the individual (consumers, entrepreneurs), social (relationships, interactions), and macro (companies, industries, governments) levels. The output of our future contributions aims to inform national and international decision-making actors (e.g., managers, public policymakers, consumers) across diverse domains, leveraging insights from emerging research areas, including: Technology and marketing; Marketing with purpose and consumer behavior; Digital ecosystems, business ecosystems, and business networks; Entrepreneurship and Business Models; International strategy.
