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.
