FGV/EESP
Escola de Economia de São Paulo da Fundação Getulio Vargas (EESP) is a Brazilian private research and teaching institution located in São Paulo, affiliated with Fundação Getulio Vargas. It offers undergraduate, graduate, and executive education programs and engages in applied policy research influencing debates in Latin America and beyond. EESP interacts with national and international institutions across finance, public policy, and development, maintaining networks with central banks, ministries, multilateral organizations, and private sector entities.
EESP traces origins to the expansion of Fundação Getulio Vargas during the late 20th and early 21st centuries, following precedents set by Escola de Administração de Empresas de São Paulo, Escola Brasileira de Administração Pública e de Empresas, and Fundação Getulio Vargas' earlier units in Rio de Janeiro and Brasília. The foundation’s institutional development mirrors interactions with the Central Bank of Brazil, Banco do Brasil, Ministry of Finance, and state governments during periods marked by the Plano Real, the 1990s fiscal reforms, and the early 2000s macroeconomic stabilization. Key milestones include program launches influenced by partnerships with the Inter-American Development Bank, World Bank, Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, and United Nations agencies. EESP’s historical trajectory aligns with intellectual currents from economists and policymakers linked to Universidade de São Paulo, Instituto de Pesquisa Econômica Aplicada, and international centers such as London School of Economics, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Harvard University, and University of Chicago.
The school occupies urban facilities in São Paulo with dedicated classrooms, lecture halls, and research offices used by faculty with affiliations to institutions like Banco Central do Brasil, BNDES, Petrobras, and Itaú Unibanco. Campus infrastructure supports libraries and data labs that host datasets from IBGE, Ministério da Educação, Receita Federal, and Associação Brasileira das Entidades dos Mercados Financeiro e de Capitais. Facilities enable conferences and seminars attracting speakers from Princeton University, Yale University, Columbia University, Stanford University, University of Cambridge, and Fundação Getulio Vargas’ other campuses. Executive education suites accommodate programs run in collaboration with São Paulo Stock Exchange, Federação das Indústrias do Estado de São Paulo, and multinational firms.
EESP provides undergraduate programs, professional master’s degrees, academic master’s and doctoral programs, and MBA and executive courses. Curricula draw on traditions present at Fundação Getulio Vargas’ Escola de Administração de Empresas and connect to research strands found at Escola de Pós-Graduação em Economia. Degree pathways emphasize quantitative training linked to econometrics traditions from University of Chicago, structural modeling used at National Bureau of Economic Research, and applied policy modules similar to those at Johns Hopkins University’s School of Advanced International Studies. Programmatic collaborations include exchange arrangements with Bocconi University, Sciences Po, Universidad de Chile, and Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio de Janeiro.
EESP hosts research centers and policy units engaged in macroeconomics, public finance, labor markets, and regulatory studies. Research outputs intersect with work at Instituto de Pesquisa Econômica Aplicada, Centro de Estudos Monetários e Financeiros, and Observatório Social while contributing to debates involving the International Monetary Fund, World Bank, Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, and Inter-American Development Bank. The school convenes seminars with visiting scholars from European Central Bank, Federal Reserve, Bank of England, Reserve Bank of India, and Banco de España, and publishes studies relevant to fiscal rules, inflation targeting, and social policy evaluated against benchmarks used by the United Nations Development Programme and Oxfam.
Faculty include economists and practitioners with prior roles at Central Bank of Brazil, Ministry of Economy, BNDES, Petrobras, and multilateral organizations. Administrative leadership draws on governance models practiced at Fundação Getulio Vargas’ other schools and interacts with corporate boards and public sector oversight bodies such as Tribunal de Contas da União. Faculty research profiles often reflect doctoral training from Harvard University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, London School of Economics, University of California, Berkeley, and University of Chicago, and publications appear in journals like American Economic Review, Quarterly Journal of Economics, Journal of Political Economy, and Econometrica.
Student associations and study groups engage with professional networks such as Associação Brasileira de Econometria, Conselho Federal de Economia, and regional chapters of alumni associations tied to Fundação Getulio Vargas. Extra‑curricular activities include policy debate clubs, investment funds modeled after student funds at Wharton School and Saïd Business School, and partnerships with NGOs like Institute for Fiscal Studies‑style think tanks, local chapters of Amnesty International, and Serviço Social do Comércio for social projects. Career fairs connect students with recruiters from Itaú Unibanco, Banco Santander, Goldman Sachs, McKinsey & Company, and Accenture.
Admissions pathways combine national exam results, institutional entrance tests, and selection procedures similar to those used by Fundação Getulio Vargas’ other units, and sometimes consider candidates’ profiles in comparison to applicants to Universidade de São Paulo and Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio de Janeiro. Rankings often place the school within national and regional assessments by organizations such as Times Higher Education, QS World University Rankings, and Latin American rankings that assess programs alongside Universidad de los Andes, Tecnológico de Monterrey, and Universidade Estadual de Campinas.
