Program Objectives
The first year of the program provides a solid foundation in the fundamentals of theoretical and applied economics. Covering a variety of topics in macroeconomics, microeconomics, and industrial organization, the focus will be on modeling economic decisions and interactions among economic actors. You will explore applications to relevant economic policy issues, such as health policy, poverty and development, and climate change. Courses in data management, macroeconometrics, and microconometrics will help you become familiar with data treatment and analysis. Empirical data applications will enhance your coding skills using common software tools in economics, such as R, MATLAB, and Stata.
Program objectives:
- Master fundamental concepts in economics (macroeconomics, microeconomics, game theory, industrial organization, etc.).
- Learn to model and solve complex economic problems, apply them to various issues (such as health, education, development, trade, … ), and critically assess economic policy design.
- Learn to process and analyze data to conduct professional and sound data analyses.
- Acquire knowledge of groundbreaking research in economics and explore decision-making processes among public and private stakeholders.

The Master in Quantitative Economics allows interested students to acquire the Certificate in Advanced Quantitative Methods in Economics of the PSL Graduate Program in Economics.
The AQME certificate is based on a 2-year training (M1 Quantitative Economics -M2 Quantitative Economic Analysis) for students who plan to pursue their PhD. The theoretical part consists on validating courses and applications focused on advanced quantitative methods in economics. All certificate courses are included in the Master in Quantitative Economics. Obtaining the AQME certificate also asks for a research internship in a research center attached to a university, an international organization, or an administration in M1 or M2. The objective is to allow interested students to have a first experience in a research environment as early as the Master’s degree.
