The Department of Economics, Business and Statistics offers a research-oriented Phd programme whose aim is to endow students with relevant skills and knowledge both in theoretical and empirical aspects of Economics and Statistics. We put great effort to produce top-quality researchers, who will gain international experience working within the research units of our department.

Students are trained for positions in academia as well as for responsible positions in government, research organizations, and business enterprises. Students will be encouraged to participate in the life of the department, present their research work in junior seminars and international conferences and  to participate in specialized summer schools. Each student will be assisted by a faculty advisor who will share state of the art insights to bring students to the research frontier, provide them with quantitative and analytical tools to analyze relevant scientific questions, and supervise student’s engagement in full-time research towards the completion of a doctoral dissertation.
