The Global Economics and Management (GEM) area at UCLA Anderson School of Management conducts an active research program in economics led by its internationally renowned faculty. Situated in one of the world's most international cities and at the gateway to the Pacific Rim, GEM teaches management students to think creatively about the important international economic issues of our time and trains the leading economists of tomorrow through our
world-class Ph.D. program.
GEM maintains a vibrant seminar series on international political economy, conducts international study trips, participates in UCLA Anderson's executive education programs and organizes academic conferences, among many other activities. We rely on strong interactions with the Center for Global Management (CGM) and the UCLA Anderson Forecast, all crucial assets that enhance the attractiveness of the GEM area as a place to pursue global management education and practice, doctoral studies and an academic career.
