The Dhaka School of Economics (DScE) (Template:Lang-bn) is an undergraduate and postgraduate institution of the University of Dhaka. DScE was founded in April 2010,[1] following the model of the London School of Economics,[2] to promote higher studies and research in economics and related subjects.[3] Its goal is to accommodate the fast-growing demand for well-trained economists and professionals in related subjects,[4] to contribute to teaching, research and evaluation, policymaking and implementation of nation-building programs. DscE has developed a Socio-Economic Data Bank[5] to accomplish this goal.
