History

The IWH began operations on January 1, 1992 in Halle (Saale). Since then, its scholars have published in peer-reviewed journals and in working papers.

In 2012, the IWH began the Doctoral Programme in Economics (IWH-DPE), a four-year programme with two years of courses. Doctoral students develop economic foundations and are allocated to one of three research departments: Financial Markets, Macroeconomics, Structural Change and Productivity. The program is part of the Central-German Doctoral Program Economics (CGDE), a network of economic faculties in Saxony-Anhalt, Saxony, and Thuringia, including those at TU Dresden, Leipzig University, and Friedrich Schiller University Jena (FSU).[1]

Former presidents of the IWH include:

  • Manfred Wegner, 1992-1993
  • Rüdiger Pohl, 1994-2003
  • Ulrich Blum, 2004-2010
  • Jutta Günther and Oliver Holtemöller, 2011-2013 (Acting Directors)
  • Claudia M. Buch, 2013
  • Reint E. Gropp, 2014-present
