THE PROGRAM

The Ph.D. Program in Economics is designed to educate researchers and teachers who will contribute to the development and application of knowledge in economics. The program emphasizes the development of research skills and the acquisition of in-depth knowledge in specialized fields of students’ choice. Students completing the program are prepared for careers in universities, government, consulting firms, and business enterprises. The program is relatively small and provides students accessibility to the faculty and a large measure of personal attention. Opportunities for supervised independent research, interdisciplinary study, and work in research centers are provided on an individual basis. Some of these opportunities are located at the New York office of the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) where several members of the doctoral faculty have affiliations. Opportunities for supervised independent research, interdisciplinary study, and work in research centers are provided on an individual basis.
