Dhaka School of Economics explained
The Dhaka School of Economics (DScE) (Bengali: ঢাকা স্কুল অব ইকোনমিকস) is an undergraduate and postgraduate institution of the University of Dhaka. DScE was founded in April 2010, following the model of the London School of Economics,[1] to promote higher studies and research in economics and related subjects.[2] Its goal is to accommodate the fast-growing demand for well-trained economists and professionals in related subjects,[3] to contribute to teaching, research and evaluation, policymaking and implementation of nation-building programs. DscE has developed a Socio-Economic Data Bank[4] to accomplish this goal.
