The Econometric Analysis of Development Policies specialization offers students a deep understanding of how incentives and institutions shape sustainable economic growth, reduce inequality and poverty, and promote human development.
This specialization delves into advanced econometric methods for analyzing time series and panel data, as well as techniques for impact evaluation. Real-world applications cover a broad spectrum, ranging from the impact of trade, remittances, aid, and foreign investment on economic growth to evaluations of policies spanning education, labor markets, healthcare, and anti-corruption measures.
Throughout the programme, students will develop proficiency in designing, executing, and presenting empirical research using cutting-edge econometric tools and methodologies.
