MSc Applied Economics  
 
   
The MSc Programme in Applied Economics is designed to develop both economic reasoning and constructing and estimating economic models through the use of econometrics and other quantitative techniques. This is accomplished by a rigorous and demanding curriculum and a talented and committed staff of instructors. The foundation for intelligent economic reasoning is laid with courses in Microeconomic and Macroeconomic Theory; Statistics and Econometrics create the foundation for empirical analysis. These skills are then further enhanced through a diverse array of courses. These courses serve to provide detailed knowledge of specific areas of economics but, equally important, provide additional experience in economic modeling and econometric estimation. Our objective is for students to complete the programme with the skills to develop and estimate models designed to address the questions they are faced with in their professional activities.
