Understanding the complex and intertwined economic issues of modern society requires advanced economic theory and accurate data analysis, along with strong analytical and decision-making skills.

This field provides systematic instruction in internationally recognized knowledge across various areas of economics. Students acquire statistical and econometric methods essential for advanced quantitative economic analysis. By applying these methods to issues in finance, public finance, labor, and other fields, students develop practical analytical skills to grasp the essence of complex economic phenomena, identify problems, and propose concrete solutions.

A distinctive feature of this field is the involvement of emerging researchers who play a central role in graduate-level education in theoretical economics, econometrics, finance, public finance, and labor economics.

The field aims to cultivate experts in economic analysis with strong data processing skills, quantitative analytical abilities, and deep knowledge of economics. These individuals will be equipped to conduct theoretical and empirical analyses of modern economics and take on leadership roles in addressing various societal challenges.

Students learn cutting-edge analytical methods in macroeconomics, microeconomics, and econometrics—essential for conducting economic analysis as researchers and economists. In the first year, students take courses related to their research themes to prepare for their master’s thesis. In the second year, the focus is primarily on thesis writing.
