Educational objectives
The courses aim to train researchers with strong quantitative and theoretical skills, capable of analyzing economic and financial phenomena. Candidates’ dissertations are expected to adhere to the highest standards of scientific rigor and to demonstrate innovative features that make them suitable for publication in leading international peer-reviewed journals. The programme therefore seeks to contribute to the international scientific debate in economics and finance. To this end, candidates will be encouraged to employ state-of-the-art methodologies and to adopt a multidisciplinary approach. The advanced training provided by the programme, together with the research methods required to complete the dissertation, prepares candidates both for an academic career and for high-level professional positions involving policy analysis and policymaking.
