Bocconi IGIER – 35 Years of Research and Vision From Past to Future

The Innocenzo Gasparini Institute for Economic Research (IGIER) at Bocconi University celebrates its 35th anniversary, marking more than three decades of influential scholarship, international collaboration, and evidence-based policy impact. Since its founding, IGIER has become a hub for economists and social scientists seeking to address global challenges with rigor and openness. To honor this milestone, this special video features founders Mario Monti, Francesco Giavazzi, and current IGIER director Thomas Le Barbanchon in a conversation led by IGIER affiliate Alexia Delfino that reflects on IGIER’s origins, its evolution, and the directions it aims to pursue in the years ahead. Their dialogue offers an insider’s view of how the institute has shaped academic thought and public debate—and how it plans to continue doing so.
