The MPhil in Economics is designed for students who wish to continue to careers in economically focussed areas, for example in consultancy, investment banking, or government economic service. In addition to core papers in macroeconomics, microeconomics and econometrics there are a number of optional modules that allow candidates to study and develop skills further in these more specialised areas. It is not designed for students who wish to continue to the PhD programme.
该项目帮助学生为未来从事经济学家的工作做准备,例如很多学生在英国政府经济服务机构或者经济咨询业工作。
The Course will provide a broad analysis of macroeconomics and will contain a mix of theory, policy and empirical evidence. Microeconomics will cover the standard economic models of individual decision-making with and without uncertainty, models of consumer behaviour and producer behaviour under perfect competition and the Arrow-Debreu general equilibrium model. Econometrics will give a solid understanding of basic applied econometric methods in order to be able to analyse different kinds of economic data.
