PhD - Doctor of Philosophy in Economics

York University

This program focuses on applied economic theory. We offer a one-year, course-work master’s degree program as well as a PhD program. Resources for graduate students are excellent, from libraries that subscribe to all of the major economic journals to computer labs available to students 24 hours a day. You’ll have access to three powerful Unix-based servers that run advanced computing applications such as Gauss, S-plus, Garch, Wavelette, SAS, Stata, IMSL and Unix versions of Maple and TSP.Our Ph.D. program comprises course work, comprehensive examinations, and a dissertation. Our goals are to equip students with an in-depth knowledge of the core areas in economics as well as that of their chosen fields, and to provide supportive guidance to help them apply that knowledge in substantial and original research projects.
