The 1st year of the Master in Economics includes 2 semesters. During the first semester, students attend 6 compulsory courses, one course of personal development, one French language course and 2 electives. During the second semester, students attend 3 compulsory courses and 4 electives.

This master aims at providing econometric and empirical analysis tools combined with strong skills in using large data sets in order to perform deep studies in a broad area of economics. The EEE M2 program provides in the first semester a solid training in microeconometrics, time series, panel data models, non-parametric methods, large dimension statistical tools, computer programming, and database management system. In the second semester, students apply these training to do empirical studies in industrial organization, finance, public policy evaluation programs, health and insurance, data analytics and big data.

Courses are taught in English by TSE faculty members with a well-established international reputation in econometrics, empirical economics, industrial organization, and finance among others. This training is completed with an empirical project done during the whole year in a group of students.... [-]

How do markets work? How do firms make strategic choices? What determines demand and cost structure?

The M2 EMO program combines a solid training in industrial organization, regulatory economics, and econometrics that give students a real expertise in the analysis of strategic aspects of a market, the identification of the determinants of the firms’ economic performance in a market, and the evaluation of policies aimed at improving the market efficiency.

The Master 2 in "Economic Theory and Econometrics" allows students to acquire a thorough, general training (in economic theory, econometrics, industrial organization, etc.) before choosing a specific area of research.

This master is specially designed for students interested in economic theory, econometrics, industrial organization, macroeconomics and other theoretical and applied fields. It offers a large range of courses that allow students to start a Ph.D. in the best possible conditions, particularly those who have not yet chosen their research topic.

The "Doctoral track" allows students to acquire a thorough and advanced general training in economic theory (micro, macro, and econometrics) before choosing a specific area of research.... [-]

Environmental issues such as pollution, climate change and the conservation of biodiversity are currently in the headlines of economic debate. Governments design public policies such as taxes or emission trading schemes to mitigate the negative impacts of air or water pollution. Firms launch green business strategies such as investments in cleaner technologies, product labeling or socially responsible investments to improve their competitiveness. The "Energy and Environmental Policy Path" of the master is providing students with the analytical skills to assess, analyze and recommend economic policies and strategies to tackle environmental issues and manage natural resources....

Why are some countries so poor while others are so much more affluent? Development economics is trying to provide an answer to this difficult question. The quest for this answer takes place either (i) at the level of states and countries, looking at international issues as well as into the political economy of government failure in poor countries, or (ii) at the level of individuals and firms, with a view to understanding how these microeconomic agents are able to cope with such difficult environments. The Public Policy and Development (PP&D) Master’s program aims at equipping its students with the tools required to become part of that quest at the cutting edge.

The master 2 “Statistics and Econometrics” develops students who have previously acquired a solid skill set in economics and/or mathematical statistics. It offers general classes in mathematical statistics and in econometrics as well as specialized classes in various fields of application. The objective of the curriculum is first to give the students a solid culture in the big themes of applied statistics. This culture is necessarily developed while learning to use software like notably SAS, R, and Matlab. Furthermore, the students acquire skills in computing when it comes to database management. Some options allow them to develop applications in various fields notably in the tertiary sector.... [-]
