Researching since 2002
RGEAF (Research Group in Economic Analysis, Accounting and Finance) is a research group based at the Faculty of Economics and Business of the Universidade de Vigo focused on economic analysis, accounting, auditing and finance. The group started its activity as such in May 2002 and aims to promote academic excellence in research and to foster knowledge transfer in the areas of Economics and Business.
Funded by Xunta de Galicia
The Xunta de Galicia —through the Dirección Xeral de Promoción Científica e Tecnolóxica del Sistema Universitario de Galicia— has been continuously funding RGEAF since 2003 until today for its excellence in research and transfer, by means of the ‘Programa de Consolidación y Estructuración de Unidades de Investigación Competitiva del Sistema Universitario de Galicia’ (Programme of Consolidation and Structuring of Competitive Research Units of the Galician University System).
Research areas
The research carried out by the members of RGEAF covers different areas of economics and business, such as game theory, economic theory, quantitative methods, applied economics, corporate social responsibility, auditing and accounting information, financial education, sustainable finance or gender equality in the workplace. These lines of research are developed with funds from the Xunta de Galicia and through other public-tendered research projects from the Ministry of Science and Technology, the European Commission or private entities such as FUNCAS or the Fundación Carolina. RGEAF also develops projects funded by contracts and agreements signed with other entities, such as the Consorcio de la Zona Franca de Vigo.
Publishing
RGEAF members publish their works in international academic journals in their respective areas of expertise. They also belong to the scientific committees of international conferences as well as editorial boards —as associated editors— of academic journals such as Economic Theory or Journal of Mathematical Economics, among others.
