A Ph.D. in Applied Business Economics is typically a 4-6 year program that provides advanced training in the application of economic principles and analytical tools to real-world business challenges. Microeconomics, macroeconomics, econometrics, data analytics, and the application of economic theory to managerial decision-making are among the subjects covered in the program. Students carry out original research to create creative answers to problems in fields like market analysis, strategic planning, risk management, and policy evaluation—often in cooperation with government organizations or partners in the business sector. Graduates of this program can use their knowledge of applied business economics to improve organizational performance and guide evidence-based policymaking in leadership positions in government agencies, financial institutions, consulting firms, and multinational corporations.
