We offer specialized Master's programs in Economics : 
 

Master in Economics : Economics, Data & Transition : a program focused on economic analysis, data expertise... 

 

First-year Master’s courses :

• Programming for data management and analysis (lecture hours : 27 and ECTS : 5)
  • This course introduces students to programming techniques to collect, manipulate, and represent date using Python. We emphasize breadth over depth : the goal is to introduce to severaluseful tools and topics for data analysis so that they can learn these techniques more deeply when necessary.

The course will be delivered by traditional "chalk and talk" lecture, supplemented by a large number of exercises.
• Microeconomics (lecture hours : 27 and ECTS : 6)
  • This course covers key microeconomic topics, including consumer choice, wealth, income, budget constraints, and labor supply.

Master in Economics : Economics, Data & Substainability : a program focused on economic analysis, data expertise... 

First-year Master’s courses :

• Public policy evaluation (lecture hours : 27 and ECTS : 5)
  • This course introduces tools for answering causual questions, similar to a randomized clinical trial; While machine learning is useful for predictions, it has limited ability to predict real-world intervention outcomes. Students will learn to apply these tools and understand why correlation does not imply causation. 
• Introduction to time series (lecture hours : 27 and ECTS : 6)
  • This course starts with a review of autoregression analysis, focusing on topics like model specification errors, dynamic models, and forecast evaluation. It then covers univariate non-stationary time series models, vector autoregressive models, cointegration, error correction models, and Bayesian methods for estimating vector autoregressive models.

  • Financial economics 
• Macroeconomics (lecture hours : 27 and ECTS : 6)
  • This intermediate macroeconomics course examines key models, starting with the Solow model to analyze long-term trends and cross-country differences. It then explores the role of money, credit, banking, and finance in the macroeconomy, emphasizing their relevance in light of recent financial crises.
