The Economic Society for Bocconi Students (ES) aims at promoting a critical, rigorous and innovative thinking in the field of Economics.

The Economic Society for Bocconi Students is the first-established Economics student association at Bocconi. Launched by a group of DES/ESS students, the Society is now a vibrant community of almost sixty undergraduate and graduate students with a sheer passion for economics. We aim at promoting a critical, rigorous but innovative thinking in the field of social sciences, in order to improve the quality of debate on economic matters among the members and the Bocconi student community. Our main activities feature:
- weekly internal seminars, where our members present their original work or academic papers
- open seminars with both Bocconi and external professors
- public events and conferences with leading economists, scholars, journalists and politicians
- community-wide initiatives such as the ‘Economic Society Thesis Award’ and the sharing of economics-related stories on our social media channels

♦️ Pick 1–3 economists you think will receive the Prize
♦️ Optionally, predict the motivation, contribution, research area or paper that will be recognised (used as a tie-breaker)
♦️ A scoring system rewards both correct predictions and completeness (full rules and examples on the website)
♦️ The winner gets ESBS merch 🎁

⏰ Deadline: Monday 12 October, 10:00 AM CEST, just before the announcement

📌 Open to the whole Bocconi community: students, faculty, PhDs and alumni! Please submit only once using your Bocconi email, and only name real economists who could plausibly be considered for the Prize. Duplicate or invalid entries won’t count.

Time to put those educated Nobel guesses to the test 🫡

🗓 Seminar topic: “Stories, Statistics, and Memory” (Graeber, Roth and Zimmermann, QJE 2024) — on why the same information stays with us far longer when it comes as a story than as a statistic. Presented by Giovanni Cecchi (Head of Relations) and Jakub Przewoski (Head of Affiliates).

📍 Where: Room C — Sarfatti building (Leoni)

After the seminar, join us for an informal aperitivo at Reflex 🍸 at 7.45 PM to meet the team, chat with current fellows, and get answers to all your questions. And bring along a friend who might be interested!

‼️ The Economic Society for Bocconi Students took the stage at 50 Years of Economic and Social Sciences: Research, Ideas, and Impact, the conference celebrating half a century of the ESS Master Program.

Roberto Fani, former President of ESBS and Founding Editor of the Bocconi Economic Journal, opened with an overview of what a decade of student-led initiatives looks like from the inside: from the visit to the European Central Bank to “Under the Saddle”, and the launch of the BEJ in November 2024.

Beatrice de Waal, our current President, took a closer look at our Women in Economics seminar series: one of the initiatives we care about most. It started from the idea that economics still has a gender gap, and one of the places to close it is at the very beginning, encouraging more young women to apply, to join, and to see themselves in this field. The series has now grown into a space where female professors and students can discuss research, career paths, and questions that often go unasked.

To close, Sharmista Lakkineni — one of our fellows — presented her paper from the inaugural issue of the BEJ, on automation and work.

Hopefully, we’ll be there at the next anniversary as well!

‼️ This summer, for the first time ever, the Economic Society was invited to take part in the Bocconi Summer School to meet high school students curious about what studying economics and life at Bocconi can look like.

During our sessions, we introduced the Society and the role we play within the Bocconi ecosystem. Some of our Fellows shared their academic and professional experiences, hoping to offer students some perspective as they think about their next steps and, perhaps not entirely impartially, to convince a few of them that Economics might be the right choice.

We also wanted to go beyond what studying economics looks like in the classroom. We gave students a snapshot of what it means to do research in Economics, discussing empirical applications and questions that, from the outside, one might not immediately expect economists to study.

A special thank you to Professors Elisa Borghi and Michela Braga for welcoming us into the classes they coordinated. Looking forward to the beginning pf a new academic year. Many news to come!

‼️ In April the Economic Society travelled to Frankfurt to visit the European Central Bank and gain a closer understanding of its work.

The visit was held as part of the Europeans4Europeans project whose goal is to demystify the ECB and bring European institutions closer to students. We are proud to say that ESBS is the first student association to pursue this objective by travelling to Frankfurt and experiencing the institution from within.

A special thank you goes to Roberto Schiavi, Director General of DG Corporate Services, for welcoming us. During the visit, our fellows and affiliates had the opportunity to explore the ECB Visitor Centre, engage in a deep dive on IT risk by Fabrizio Ferrari, Senior Supervisor at the SSM (DGHOL), and take part in a roundtable with trainees from different DGs.

We are grateful to all the ECB trainees who joined us and, above all, to Salvatore Mastrullo and Camilla Fallarino who made this visit possible.
