Global Economics and Management
The Ph.D. Program in Economics is designed for scholars aiming at careers in top academic institutions. The Global Economics and Management area has a strong focus on applied economics in general, with a particular emphasis in international economics, political economy and economic development. The small size of the program facilitates strong cohesion among students and faculty, continuous scholarly interactions among all members of the area, and an intellectually active and stimulating environment.
From the GEM Ph.D. Liaison

"Welcome to the Global Economics and Management Ph.D. program. When you join our group of scholars you will find an environment that values intellectual rigor, strong empirical and theoretical skills, and a commitment to the highest standards in research and teaching. The faculty works very closely with Ph.D. students: our door will always be open to you. Our placement record is strong, with graduates of our program holding faculty positions at the Harvard Business School, the Yale School of Management and the Yale Department of Economics, as well as research positions at top governmental and international organizations such as the IMF, the World Bank and the Federal Reserve Board."
