NAKE

The Netherlands Network of Economics (‘Netwerk Algemene en Kwantitatieve Economie’, commonly known by its acronym as ‘NAKE’) provides a national graduate program in Economics and Econometrics in the Netherlands. This network is a joint initiative of various Economics Faculties in the Netherlands. It started out in 1986 as the Network of Quantitative Economic, and subsequently merged in 1991 with the Network of General Economics to become the Netherlands Network of Economics. In May 2005, the Economics Faculties associated in the Tinbergen Institute stepped out of the Network, which is now serving the Economics Faculties in the center and eastern part of the country.
