PhD in Economics / Master in Economic Analysis- University of Cyprus
ABOUT: The Department of Economics at the University of Cyprus provides a strong research-oriented academic environment, with faculty members with research interests spanning across various fields in Economics and Econometrics. Tilburg University Research Ranking, which measures research output in Economics journals, has been the University of Cyprus consistently within the top 100 institutions in Europe and within the world’s top 200 (currently 63 in Europe and 171 globally). Faculty members of the Department have published in most of the leading journals in economics and other related fields, including among others the American Economic Review, Econometrica, Annals of Statistics, and the Quarterly Journal of Economics. The Master in Economic Analysis is designed to merge mathematical analysis with economic thinking, offering advanced education and scientific training for aspiring high-level analysts. Graduates of the program are well-equipped to attract the attention of international organizations, globally recognized research institutions, and private sector entities specializing in economic data analysis. Additionally, the program also caters to students considering a future Ph.D., equipping them with the foundational skills and rigorous training needed to excel in advanced research. The Ph.D. in Economics aims to provide rigorous economic theory and econometrics training to enable our students to conduct cutting-edge original research in economics. Our aim is for our graduates to can successfully compete internationally for employment at Universities, research institutions, public policy organizations, and the private sector. Past graduates of the programme are now employed in renowned Universities abroad, as well as in several academic institutions in Cyprus. We seek candidates with strong analytical skills, a background in quantitative methods (not necessarily in Economics) and a passion for research. Students coming directly from undergraduate studies, or without prior research-oriented graduate studies in Economics, are typically first enrolled in the Master in Economic Analysis, where they can complete the required coursework. Admitted students can also have the opportunity to transfer credits from similar classes taken in other universities. FUNDING: The Department makes every effort possible to ensure that the doctoral students have enough income to live independently during their studies. The Department covers the tuition fees of its incoming full-time Ph.D. students. In addition to this, most students are offered financial aid, in the form of scholarships or teaching assistantships, which allows them to cover their living costs. Students who are initially enrolled in the Master of Economic Analysis are also eligible for funding. Typically, the initial offer of financial support covers the first year of studies. Renewal of the support beyond the first year is usually offered to students who are admitted to the research stage of the Ph.D. programme. The Department tries its best to clarify the financial support that incoming students should expect as soon as possible. Oftentimes, this is done already when the Department offers a position to the applicant in the programme or soon after that. The Department offers additional funding for participation in conferences, enrolment in summer/winter schools and online courses, as well as it provides opportunities for research visits in renowned research institutions. In the past decade, the Department has financially supported all its full-time Ph.D. students throughout their studies and a substantial number of students enrolled in the Master in Economic Analysis. PROGRAMME STRUCTURE: Both programmes share the same coursework stage. The students take core courses in Microeconomics, Macroeconomics and Econometrics, as well as a course in Mathematics, two courses in Topics in Current Economic Research and additional elective courses that help them deepen their knowledge in specific research areas. Students who are enrolled in the Master of Economic Analysis can choose between attending several elective courses or writing a Master's thesis. If a graduate of the Master in Economic Analysis continues its studies to pursue a Ph.D. in Economics then the credits from courses completed in the Master's programme are transferred. Ph.D. Students with sufficiently high performance in the core courses obtain the right to take the comprehensive exam. Students who are enrolled in the Ph.D. Programme and successfully complete the coursework stage, but do not meet the requirements to enter research stage of the Ph.D. Programme can graduate with a Master in Economic Analysis. Success in the comprehensive exam gives the student the right to proceed to the programme’s research stage. During the research stage, the student conducts research under a Research Advisor’s guidance, intending to write a doctoral dissertation. APPLICATION PROCESS: Applications will open soon! First Deadline: 30/03/2025 Second Evaluation Round: 30/04/2025 Final Deadline: 30/06/2025 Applications received after the first deadline are evaluated on a rolling basis. Interested candidates are encouraged to apply as soon as possible to ensure that they can be evaluated while there are still available positions and funding opportunities.

PhD in Methods and Models for Economic Decisions
The PhD program lasts three years and all its activities are in English. Each post is endowed with a scholarship of about € 16,243 gross per year. Each student is endowed with an additional budget of about € 1,624 per year for research activities.The PhD program is hosted by Department of Economics of the University of Insubria (located in Varese, Italy), which has been granted the Departments of Excellence award and funding plan for the period 2023 – 2027 by the ANVUR (Italian National Agency for the Evaluation of Universities and Research Institutes), ranking 8th among the Italian departments of economics and statistics. Topic and goals A significant part of economic analysis focuses on decision-making processes. Consumers and producers, workers and firms, banks and managers, households and policy makers continuously make decisions which are economically relevant. Economists are interested in understanding, predicting or modifying the processes underlying these decisions. The analysis of human decisions relies on methods and models that differ significantly across various fields of economic research. For instance, classical decision theory is largely based on mathematical models, while more recent research in behavioral decision theory often relies on experimental methods. Econometric tools are used to investigate the determinants of specific decisions, such as those concerning labor, transports, health or charity. Computational methods are used to simulate how economic agents interact, and to investigate the economic effects of their interactions. The PhD program in Methods and Models for Economic Decisions trains young researchers to master the variety of theoretical and applied approaches that are used in economics for analyzing decision-making processes. Faculty The PhD Board includes faculty members of Insubria University as well as faculty members of other Italian and foreign universities. See the PhD webpage for the complete faculty list. Organization In the first year of the program, students attend compulsory courses to acquire a broad set of research skills(from theory to data analysis), that allow them to tackle the complex phenomena related to decision making. During the second and third year of the program, students focus on their own research under the supervision of one or more faculty members and participate in seminars and reading groups in their field of interest. See the training activities webpage for the complete list of courses. The program strongly encourages students to spend part of their PhD period abroad and supports them in gaining international experience. The central goal of the program is to create independent researchers, who can then pursue an academic career in leading universities or obtain research positions in private firms or international organizations. At the end of the third-year students submit their PhD dissertation, which is usually made of three research papers. The PhD courses in the next academic year will start in November 2024. Admission requirements The selection procedure is open to candidates who hold a Master’s Degree (Laurea Magistrale) or a 4-year Degree previous to the Ministerial Decree no. 509/1999 (Laurea quadriennale vecchio ordinamento), or equivalent academic title (Master’s Degree) obtained abroad, without age or citizenship restrictions. Graduands may conditionally access the selection procedure, provided that they obtain the required admission qualification by 31 October 2024, under penalty of exclusion in case of positive outcome of the selection procedure.

PhD Programme in QUANTITATIVE METHODS IN ECONOMICS at the University of Macerata
Course Objectives The aim is to develop scientific training in quantitative analysis for the new generation of scholars in academia and to promote a culture of quantitative analysis within institutions. The course delves into policy analysis tools, both ex-ante (calibrated predictive models) and ex-post (counterfactual analysis of observational data); mathematical and statistical quantitative methods in deterministic and stochastic contexts applied to economic growth, income distribution, monetary policy, international trade, environmental economics, social inclusiveness, business economics, and other areas of economic analysis application. These topics are also explored through simulation models such as multisectoral models (input-output, SAM based, and CGE) and agent-based models. Significant attention is also paid to new methods of online data collection and analysis (big data, web scraping, and nowcasting), network analysis, and data analysis applied to administrative business data. Employment and Professional Opportunities QME PhD graduates will be able to access professions requiring high qualifications in data analysis, the construction and maintenance of quantitative survey models, and policy evaluation at both micro and macroeconomic levels. More specifically, the QME PhD facilitates access to academic careers in national and international university systems; work in economic research centers at the national and international level; activities supporting the choice and implementation of economic policies at all levels of government; roles in policy impact evaluation, both ex-ante and ex-post, in public and private companies; and professions related to the roles of economist and applied statistician or emerging roles such as data scientist, data analyst, or data journalist. In particular, the focus on training public officials in data analysis aims to contribute to technical competence in public administration. Similarly, the application of quantitative methodologies to business administrative data and fields such as business analytics offers a professional outlet in companies that prioritize the use of data analysis in strategic decision-making.
