Economic Policy Analysis (EPA)

About

The research-oriented Master's programme in Economic Policy Analysis provides students with skills necessary to analyse complex economic issues using theoretical and empirical methods independently. The study programme focuses on the analysis of economic policy measures in various policy areas (e.g. trade policy, labour markets, social policy, and environmental policy). The study programme applies and explains empirical procedures of evidence-based policy analysis as well as behavioural economic methods, such as laboratory experiments. The student body is multinational. This study programme takes a strong quantitative approach. The Economic Policy Analysis degree programme qualifies graduates for management and specialist tasks in all areas of national and international public organisations and private companies as well as in university and non-university scientific institutions. Graduates are particularly qualified for jobs and positions in all areas in which economically relevant policy measures are decided upon, conceived, or analysed (such as ministries, economic research institutes, associations, economic analysis departments in companies, and economic university institutions). Graduates of the programme are excellently prepared for admission to a doctoral programme in economics.
