ETLAS MISSION
ETLA, the Research
Institute of the Finnish Economy, is the leading private economic research
organisation in Finland. Established in 1946, ETLA has throughout its
existence been quick to apply new methods and approaches to shed light on
current economic issues. From early on, ETLA has charted the effect of
education and research on productivity and growth. In the 1990’s ETLA
contributed significantly to the revamping of Finland’s industrial policy
on the basis of identified industrial clusters. More recently, ETLA has
analysed factors that foster innovation and facilitate adoption of new
technology, and thereby promote the development of a knowledge economy.
Currently
ETLA employs some 30 researchers in its three research programmes and a
forecasting unit. The research programmes are engaged in business
economics research, labour market and education economics research, and
public finance and economic policy research.
About
two thirds of ETLA’s researchers have a doctor’s degree. ETLA is
supportive of employees’ post-graduate studies. Over the years many
researchers have defended their doctoral theses while employed by the
Institute..
ETLA offices are located in the very centre of Helsinki
