Department of Economics

Economics isn’t just the study of money and resources—it’s a way of thinking. Through our program, you’ll learn to think like an economist, developing essential problem-solving and analytical skills you can apply to public policy, international trade and countless other industries.

With an emphasis on microeconomics and research, the Master of Econometrics and Quantitative Economics provides a stronger analytic and empirical focus than you’ll find in other professional economics programs, giving you the in-depth knowledge you need for a high-level position in the industry.

Led by some of the world’s best faculty in experimental economics and economic history, the Economics PhD program offers a rigorous program focused on microeconomics—particularly, industrial organization and labor economics—preparing you for a position as a leader in the industry.
