Master in Econometrics and Empirical Economics

In the 1st year, students attend a rigorous academic program in the different economic disciplines and quantitative techniques for social sciences. The common core courses allow them to deepen their knowledge and the elective courses allow students to build up their careers projects, taking into account the specializations in the second year of the master’s programs.

In the 2nd year, the EEE M2 program provides a solid training in microeconometrics, non-parametric methods, machine learning, advanced methods for time series and panel data models, high dimensional models, Python programming, and database management system. All these courses are given with an ‘applied’ focus, and students implement the methods in the context of several projects based on data

In addition, this training in econometric methods is supplemented by courses that are more specific to some economic fields, such as empirical industrial organization, financial econometrics, randomized control trials and policy evaluation, health econometrics, efficiency analysis methods, data analytics and spatial econometrics. The program is completed by an empirical project carried out throughout the whole year within a group of students, enabling them to work together on a “long-term” project.

The training concludes with an internship in a company or administration, as a first step towards professional integration (a thesis is also possible).

By the end of this Master's program, students will be able to perform in-depth empirical analyses in a wide range of economic fields.

Courses are taught in English by TSE faculty members with well-established international reputation in econometrics, empirical economics, industrial organization, and finance among others.

Note: students can apply to either to the full program (i.e. two years) or directly to the 2nd year (refer to the Admission section for further information)
