About the Economics PhD Program
The objective of the PhD program in Economics is to provide strong training in economic theory and quantitative methods for the purpose of developing the capabilities to perform rigorous applied research in private industry, the government sector, and universities. The program develops such capabilities through a core curriculum that consists of sequences in microeconomic theory, macroeconomic theory, analytical methods and econometrics, and through direct student involvement from the onset in research projects of the faculty. The sequences are typically completed within the first two years of study. To build further on the analytical and quantitative skills developed in the core, three research areas must be chosen for special emphasis. Students are required to pass comprehensive examinations based on the core and two of the chosen fields, and to complete an acceptable dissertation. Under favorable conditions, the comprehensive examination will be completed by the end of the second year and the dissertation by the end of the fourth year.
