Applied Economics and Sustainability
Modern economies are characterized by complexity,
interconnectedness, and the exposure to rapid changes, which can
originate domestically or internationally. Decision- and
policymakers in both the private and public sectors require an
ever-greater information and data base to assist them in
responding to the challenges and opportunities that confront
them. The theoretical and methodological foundation of an
economist equips them to address real-world problems. The
master’s program in Applied Economics and Sustainability provides
comprehensive training in economic theory and quantitative
analysis, and exposes the student to topics in sustainability,
approaches, and methods that enable them to conduct economic
and/or market analysis at the macroeconomic, sectoral and the
firm or household level. The program also qualifies candidates
for further studies at the doctoral level.
