For convenient reference we list below a number of doctoral programs at the University of Pennsylvania, which involve a significant amount of economic (or related) analysis. More details can be found on the web sites of the individual departments, and information about admissions, aid, etc. can be obtained directly from the appropriate graduate group. The graduate program in demography focuses on the determinants and consequences of population size and structure, with particular attention given to the relationship between changes in fertility, mortality, marriage and migration and changes in economic and social conditions. The program provides training in demographic methods as well as applications of economics and sociology to the study of demographic events.
This program is designed to train students in economic theory and statistical methods with emphasis on the theory of decision making under uncertainty. Students are trained to develop an ability to deal with financial decision problems faced by firms and individuals as well as by other organizations. Operations and Information Management This program is concerned with economic analysis and formal modeling of strategic and operational control. It includes study of the cognitive aspects of decision makers as human problem solvers, as well as models and systems which support decision making in manufacturing, service and public sector contexts. The Business and Public Policy program trains students to use economic tools to analyze problems in business and public policy. Students are also encouraged to draw on other social science perspectives (e.g. political science and decision sciences). The program seeks to prepare students for research careers. The Management Department offers a flexible and balanced interdisciplinary program that applies social science disciplines and research methods to management problems. It offers specializations in strategy, international business, organizational behavior and theory, and human resource management. 7/6/2004 |
