The PhD in Economics and Finance is designed for highly qualified and
motivated international students who wish to acquire first rate
research skills. A Bocconi PhD creates openings in the world of
research, both academic and non-academic, in international
organizations, central banks, government agencies and primary firms.

Economics and Finance; curriculum has to be selected in the
application phase. By its nature, the program is multidisciplinary and

methodological skills required in both economics and finance
(mathematics, statistics, econometrics, microeconomics) , as well as in
their curriculum (macroeconomics for Economics, asset pricing and

within their curriculum (e.g. asset pricing, accounting, banking,
corporate finance, development economics, econometrics, economic
history, microeconomic theory, industrial dynamics and organization,
international economics, macroeconomics, political economics, and
public economics).
The third and fourth years are entirely dedicated to research,
including attendance at regular seminars held by internationally
renowned internal and external faculty.
