PhD in Economics Information Session

The PhD in Economics programme at Singapore Management University (SMU) is delivered by a team of internationally recognized professors who are actively engaged in research at the frontiers of economics knowledge, and who are dedicated to teaching and training the next generation of economic researchers, thinkers, teachers, and policy makers.

Our programme provides students with a structured path from classroom learning to front-line research. Students learn to construct rigorous models to analyse economic phenomena, and 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. Our research strengths include:

• Econometrics • Game Theory, Social Choice & Mechanism Design • Macroeconomics • Health Economics • Industrial Organisation • International Trade • Labour, Human Capital & Education • Real Estate & Urban Economics 

You are welcome to join us for the Information Session to learn more about the programme structure, admission requirements, and the financial assistance schemes.
