Economics: wide range of specialized tracks
Economics
Companies and governments are facing complex problems in the global economy. With your deep understanding of how integrated and turbulent markets function - and if they fail, how this affects market participants - you can help organizations and governments seize the opportunities available.
Effectively address economic problems and questions involving people’s behavior and behavioral change. Become an economist trained to take both the economics and the psychology of behavior into account, as well as the ways it can be affected by policies and strategies.
Get hands-on experience in processing and interpreting unstructured (big) data sets. With a strong foundation in statistical modeling and additional training in programming languages, you will have the right skills to understand the economic value of data and to become an ''analytics translator'': a person who can bridge the technical expertise of data engineers with the end user in any organization.
Use economic methods and models to identify regulations that ensure fair competition while mitigating negative economic effects. You will combine insights from economics, industrial organization and competition law to business strategies and regulatory policies.
Combine practical financial management with economic analysis of the markets you invest in. Address for example urgent problems in the Euro zone, international financial supervision, microfinance, bank-runs and systemic risk, and taxation of financial institutions.
Address urgent domestic public policy objectives, ranging from reduced income inequality and job security, to an affordable health care and pension system. Upon graduation you are an economic expert on how governments can achieve such critical goals, design effective solutions, and finance these activities.
Analyze the sources of economic growth in a country or region, the barriers to growth and development they face, and their possible negative environmental consequences. Upon graduation you have become trained to evaluate and write policies and strategies towards economic development and sustainable resource use.
Combine international business with taxation challenges. Advise national governments on how to attract large multinationals, or help businesses decide which countries provide the best taxation rules for achieving their strategic goals.
CentER's Research Master (RM) in Economics is an intensive two years program. It prepares you for academic research in economics with graduate level coursework and research training. After completing the RM program most students continue with PhD research in economics. RM graduates who performed well in their course work and have a strong research proposal supported by one or two supervisors will be admitted to CentER's three-year PhD program. The RM and PhD program together form an integrated graduate program in Economics.
