PhD in Economic Policy

As a research doctorate, it is expected that the students will take into account the research dynamics used in CINPE directly through their work nucleus. This agreement should be done at full-time, or at least a minimum of 10 to 20 hours of work related to the doctoral project. This way, the PhD students get to be part of the research team on their specific interest, whereas their research project gets incorporated officially into the work institutes’ agenda, supervised by one of the academic personnel.

Syllabus’ Objective

Train researchers in the economic policy area so they can identify and solve current complex problems with a national and international focus. They will apply appropriate theories and innovative methodologies with an alternative and comprehensive vision.
Promote in the students a high academic level transdisciplinary, conceptual, and comprehensive formation for the design, execution, and evaluation of policies related to the necessities of Latin America’s sustainable development.
Assist the students' interaction with other foreign and national researchers on the PhD-related areas of interest to enrich the training process during the postgraduate studies.

To whom is it addressed

The PhD in economic policy targets academics, researchers, professionals in the social and public sector, and independent consultants with aptitudes and interest in scientific research, university teaching, economic analytical instruments, and decision-making on economic policy matters. This way, the doctorate is planned as a contribution to the improvement of the national and international socioeconomic development.
