They are two microeconomics courses (Microeconomics Fundamentals and Applied Microeconomics in International Trade and Public Finance), two macroeconomic courses (Macroeconomic Fundamentals and Applied Macroeconomics in Monetary Economics and Economic Development) and two Econometrics courses (Econometrics 723 and Econometrics 724). In addition to the compulsory courses, students must also complete an essay (EKN 795). Students pursuing a master's-level degree in Econometrics are required to complete at least two Econometrics courses.
Students pursuing a master's-level degree in Economics can choose from the full range of electives, although they are expected to complete either an econometrics course, preferably related to the sort of data that will be used in their mini-dissertations, or the applied CGE course, assuming that the student wants to undertake CGE modelling.
This programme is designed specifically for students wanting to pursue a PhD in Economics. The courses within the programme focus exclusively on microeconomic theory, macroeconomic theory, and a range of econometrical skills that build the foundation for understanding published research in economics. |
