  • The PhD program in Economics provides in-depth, rigorous training in the theory and application of Microeconomics, Macroeconomics, and Econometrics. Entering students aim for research and teaching careers in academia or research-oriented positions in government, consulting, or private industry. Faculty members work closely with PhD students, generating a collaborative, stimulating intellectual environment.
  • The basic coursework is usually completed in the first two years.  During the first year, students take core courses in Microeconomics, Macroeconomics, Econometrics, and Research Methods.  The second year is devoted to field courses, and students begin to develop their own research ideas through this coursework.  Students’ independent research begins in the summer after the second year when they begin working on their “second-year” paper, which is typically the first step in building a dissertation. After the second year, students also have the opportunity to teach their own class, building additional core knowledge and developing important classroom skills. Beyond the second-year, students are strongly encouraged to attend our weekly seminar series and participate in brown bag lunch and reading groups. There is ample opportunity to present on-going research both to obtain critical feedback and develop important presentation skills.
