PhD Program in Economics, Analytics and Decision Sciences
PhD Coordinator: Ennio Bilancini
The PhD program EADS is structured as follows.
In the first year, students take a set of basic courses in economics, analytics and decision sciences as well as several advanced courses that prepare students to conduct research in their specific area of interest. Laboratory activities on coding, data collection and analysis are offered together with a number of long seminars run by faculty members who are external to the IMT School.
In the years 2-4, students engage in their own research, under the guidance of the faculty members from one of the research units. Students are expected to present their research projects in the second year.
All Research units at the IMT School organize regular seminars by external and internal faculty members which complement the coursework with exposure to the latest research. Speakers at the seminars are leading researchers from all around the world.
There is also a number of active reading groups covering a variety of research areas where students can present their work in progress or discuss ideas and interesting papers. Students are encouraged to present their research in internal seminar series and reading groups.
