Escola de Economia de São Paulo is a Brazilian higher education institution affiliated with Fundação Getulio Vargas, focused on advanced training and research in Economics, Public Policy, and related fields. It operates in São Paulo and engages with national and international organizations, think tanks, and universities to influence debates on macroeconomics, development economics, and public finance. The school attracts students, scholars, and policymakers connected to institutions such as the Banco Central do Brasil, the Ministry of Finance (Brazil), and multinational entities.
The school was created within the framework of Fundação Getulio Vargas reforms in the early 21st century, responding to demands from Brazilian policymakers, private sector actors, and international agencies like the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, and the Inter-American Development Bank. Founding figures included academics and administrators with ties to Getúlio Vargas's legacy and networks spanning Universidade de São Paulo, Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro, and the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro. Early milestones involved partnerships with foreign institutions such as London School of Economics, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Harvard University, Yale University, Stanford University, and University of Chicago. The institution has participated in national debates influenced by leaders connected to the Presidency of Brazil, the Supreme Federal Court, and sectoral regulators such as the Comissão de Valores Mobiliários. Over time, its development was associated with policy dialogues involving the Brazilian Development Bank, the Confederação Nacional da Indústria, and municipal authorities in São Paulo (city).
The school offers undergraduate and graduate degrees, including professional programs linked to Fundação Getulio Vargas, master's degrees often coordinated with programs at Universidade de Brasília, doctoral programs with dissertation supervision drawing on networks including scholars from Princeton University, University of California, Berkeley, Columbia University, New York University, and Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam.

Executive education and short courses are designed for professionals from organizations like Itaú Unibanco, Banco do Brasil, Vale (company), and Petrobras, and for officials from agencies like the Federal Revenue Service (Brazil). Programmatic emphases incorporate quantitative methods influenced by approaches used at National Bureau of Economic Research, CEPR, and research centers affiliated with European Central Bank scholars.
Research units within the school host thematic centers that collaborate with external partners including the Brazilian Institute of Economics, the Institute for Applied Economic Research, and international entities such as OECD and UNDP. Centers focus on macroeconomic policy, labor markets, urban economics referencing case studies in São Paulo (city), microeconomic theory inspired by contributions from Kenneth Arrow, Paul Samuelson, and applied econometrics using methodologies common at Journal of Political Economy, Quarterly Journal of Economics, and Econometrica. Project portfolios have included policy briefs for the Ministry of Health (Brazil), urban planning analyses for the Prefeitura de São Paulo, and evaluations of social programs akin to initiatives by Fundação Dom Cabral and Instituto Ayrton Senna.
