Welcome to the website of the Economic Policy in Global Markets Program

The MA program in Economic Policy in Global Markets is designed to provide students with solid knowledge in economic theory and methods with a strong focus on policy application. By the end of the program students are expected to have skills and knowledge to understand and carry out economic policy analyses, understand and contribute to the most important policy debates, on the fast changing, global economy.

The curriculum provides up-to-date economic techniques to draw practical lessons from data in order to contribute towards the effective implementation of policy. The course of study combines a multi-disciplinary approach to policy analysis with focused study on the use of economic tools to analyze policy issues.

The aim of the program is to provide students with a greater understanding of the policy process and the ability to engage confidently in evidence-based economic policy making. It enables them to contribute to the processes of economic policy formulation, change and implementation, using various concepts and methods. Policy making in any field requires a wide range of skills and analytical approaches; while this program focuses on economic policy, the political economy context, both domestically and internationally, is also taken into account.
