PhD in Economics

Singapore Management University (SMU)

The programme is designed to give students a structured path from classroom learning to front-line research. They develop the skills necessary to put together rigorous, well-founded arguments and theories of the behaviour of economies, markets, industries, and of the people and institutions that make up these entities. They develop the empirical skills needed to tease out evidence from data, to falsify or lend support to their novel theories, to the highest standards demanded by economic science.Many of our students graduate with academic publications in top research journals, and go on to successful careers in industry and academia.
