Why enroll in the Analysis and Policy in Economics program?
This program allows students to acquire advanced analytical skills and develop a critical view of contemporary economic issues.
APE provides participants with the tools to understand the complex mechanisms that govern markets, public policies and the behaviour of economic agents.
In addition, it is a springboard for many professional opportunities in the private, public and academic sectors. By developing expertise in this area, you will be able to actively participate in the advancement of economic knowledge and the formulation of more effective and equitable public policies.
I consider the Master’s program to be a good first step before a PhD, as the M2 provides valuable experience in conducting effective analysis and understanding research work processes. […] I just finished my PhD and decided to accept an Environmental and Sectorial Economist position at Société Générale.
Why enroll in the Master Public Policy and Development program?
The demand for quantitative evaluation of public policies is steadily increasing. At all levels of society, whether in government, business or civil society, in both developed and emerging economies, the need for more accurate evaluations is evident.
This program aims to develop professionals capable of designing, analyzing, and evaluating public policy at the national and international levels to meet this growing need.
It is also a springboard to many private, public and academic career opportunities.
I chose the PPD program because I was looking for a program with a strong focus on applied methods and research, development, and an international student body. I am currently working as a Research Analyst at the International Monetary Fund. […] I work with country team economists to conduct macroeconomic analysis and various annual exercises such as Article IV, WEO, and program reviews for program countries. I am also part of the Fund’s Fragility Research Group, which conducts research on the macroeconomic impact of conflict in African countries.
