Italy : PhD in ECONOMICS and FINANCE

Presentation and Structure of the Program


The PhD in Economics and Finance at Università Bocconi is a 4-year full-time program designed for highly qualified and motivated students who wish to acquire world-class research skills. The program is multidisciplinary in nature and students have the option to choose from a wide range of electives, and are also given great mentorship and support throughout their time at Bocconi.

Our first-year students acquire a broad set of theoretical and methodological skills (mathematics, statistics, econometrics, microeconomics, macroeconomics, asset pricing and corporate finance) relevant to various fields in economics and finance. In the second year, our students choose their field of specialization (e.g. development economics, econometrics, microeconomic theory, industrial dynamics, international economics, macroeconomics, political economics, public economics, economic history, accounting, banking, corporate finance or empirical finance). Students also have the option of choosing fields from the other PhD programs offered by the PhD School.

The third and fourth years are entirely dedicated to research, including attendance at regular seminars held by internationally renowned internal and external faculty. All admitted students will be fully funded through a monthly salary. They are expected to shape their research agenda through interaction with the Faculty and their advisors. They will also acquire teaching expertise in their chosen fields. Our PhD classes are enriched by the interaction among students from all over the world, with backgrounds not only in economics and finance, but also other disciplines such as engineering and statistics.

Faculty members are highly prolific in terms of international publications and also active members of the international community. They contribute to the international debate by publishing in and serving on the editorial board of leading research journals (including: The American Economic Review; The European Economic Review; The Journal of Development Economics; The Journal of Monetary Economics; The Journal of Econometrics; Journal of Applied Econometrics; Journal of International Money and Finance and many others).
