History
Max Planck Institute of Economics
The predecessor of the present institute was founded in 1993 as the Max Planck Institute for Research into Economic Systems (Max-Planck-Institut zur Erforschung von Wirtschaftssystemen) and later renamed the Max Planck Institute of Economics (Max-Planck-Institut für Ökonomik). Its initial mission was researching the transition of the former Eastern European socialist economic systems, but it later researched a broad set of problems relating to change in modern economies more generally, including evolutionary economics, experimental economics, and entrepreneurial studies.[2]
It was organized into three research units:
- Evolutionary Economics Group (director: Ulrich Witt),
- Strategic Interaction Group (director: Werner Güth)
- Entrepreneurship, Growth and Public Policy Group (director: David B. Audretsch).
Present-day
On March 2014, the institute was renamed the Max Planck Institute for History and the Sciences. A few months later, on November 21, 2014, the Institute of Economics was realigned and renamed to the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Human History.[3]
Location
The institute is located on Kahlaische Strasse, about 1 km south-east of the city centre. It is housed in an attractively restored Victorian villa, linked by a glass bridge to a much larger modern building, which includes offices and other facilities for each of the research units, each unit having one floor of the main section of the building. In addition the new buildings include a substantial library, and apartments where visitors to the institute can be accommodated.
