The mission of the Ph.D. in Economics program is to educate graduate students first and foremost as economists capable of doing research in the field of economics rather than specialists in narrowly defined areas of study, provide education in advanced micro- and macroeconomic theories, the development of a rigorous toolkit of mathematical and econometric techniques, and extensive exposure to various research areas in economics that allows the student to think critically about how to approach the analysis of economic problems. Within this scope, research fields are related with international economics and various topics in microeconomics and macroeconomics emphasizing mainly on economic analysis with application using advanced tools of econometrics and mathematical techniques.
Applicants are expected to satisfy general admission requirements of the Institute.
