TSE scholars have also received numerous national and international awards, including the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences and the CNRS Gold Medal, the highest scientific honor in France (both Jean Tirole in 2007 and 2014), and the Yrjö Jahnsson Award, granted every two years to the best European economist under 45 (Jean-Jacques Laffont and Jean Tirole in 2003, Gilles Saint-Paul in 2007).

In 2014, the then chairman Professor Jean Tirole was awarded the Nobel Prize in Economics Sciences for his analysis of market power and regulation.

[4] In 2007, the French government and the Academy of Sciences chose TSE as one of 13 "Réseaux Thématiques de Recherche Avancée" (RTRA) across all fields, enabling the creation of a private foundation, the Jean-Jacques Laffont Foundation, which serves to foster world class research in economics and related social sciences at TSE.

They take an active part in policy-making in France (The French Council of Economic Advisors) as well as for a variety of institutions in Europe (The European Commission) and the rest of the world.

In 2011, TSE expanded its offerings with the launch of the education branch and the creation of the Institute for Advanced Study in Toulouse (IAST).

A year later, the French Minister of Research, Laurent Wauquiez, TSE had been selected for the certificate of ‘laboratory of excellence’ (LABEX) in the second call for projects.

[13] Universities recognized as grand établissements are endowed with higher freedom of governance in terms of selectivity in admission, amount of their tuition fees, and research focus, as well as the right to represent themselves autonomously in judiciary matters.

The aim of this course is to train students in mathematical and computer tools for application to human sciences such as economics and econometrics.

This course allows students to pursue both legal and economic fields, with a prevalence for multi-disciplinary issues such as competition law and market regulation.

The EESSQ is an independent grand établissement responsible for the undergraduate, master's, and PhD programs, as well as for joint research with the UMR TSE-R laboratory and the Jean-Jacques Laffont Foundation.

The Foundation steers TSE's overall strategy and provides resources (financial and human) thanks to the return on its capital, which is a result of two private fundraising campaigns.

The Unité mixte de recherche (UMR TSE-R)[21] is a laboratory that hosts most of the TSE researchers and teacher-researchers in economics and mathematics.
