The Lahore School of Economics

The Lahore School of Economics (established 1993) is one of Pakistan’s leading centres of learning for teaching and research in economics, finance and business administration. The Lahore School of Economics’ objectives include: (i). The training of young Pakistanis as professional economists, finance managers, accountants, financial analysts, bankers and business executives, and (ii). Undertaking research in economics, management, finance and banking to further deepen understanding of major economic facts, issues and policies.

The Lahore School was granted a Charter in January, 1997 by an Act of the Provincial Assembly of the Punjab: The Lahore School of Economics Act 1997 (Act II of 1997). The Charter vests the powers of an independent degree granting institution to The Lahore School.

The Lahore School has both undergraduate and graduate programmes in economics, business and finance. Its postgraduate programme leading to the MPhil degree is administered through the Lahore School’s Centre for Advanced Research in Economics and Business (CAREB). The student body and faculty comprise both national and expatriate Pakistanis and The Lahore School encourages expatriate Pakistanis to join as students or as faculty.

The Lahore School’s publication programme comprises The Lahore Journal of Economics (a bi-annual publication), a Seminar Paper Series and a Text Book Series. The Programme encourages both in-house and external contributors.
