Applied Economics

The course aims to provide advanced training of excellence in both economics and management sciences. The PhD is taught entirely in English and is divided into two curricula: Economics and Management.

The teaching activity, separate for each curriculum, is scheduled during the first year.

All students attend in the first two quarters compulsory advanced courses on basic subjects such as Macroeconomics, Microeconomics, Microeconometrics, Game Theory in the Economics curriculum and Research Methods, Econometrics, Corporate Governance, Organization Theories, Financial Accounting, and Strategic Management in the Management curriculum, while in the third quarter optional courses are offered on specific topics and research tools. Methodological workshops as well as meetings with PhDs working in non-academic research institutions (international organizations, central banks) are also offered. In the following years, students exclusively conduct research activities with at least one term of visiting at a foreign institution.
