Course Summary

Manchester is a leading centre for economics and research-led teaching. Graduate students from across the globe come to study economics at Manchester, attracted by our first-class postgraduate training and supervision in the core and specialist areas of economics. Many famous names from the world of economics have worked here at Manchester, including three Nobel Prize winners. Interdisciplinary study is also actively pursued here with many course units involving a number of different Schools at the university. The MA Economics course is designed to meet the growing demand for those of you who seek a degree combining a solid training in microeconomic and macroeconomic principles with quantitative methods and research informed applied economics units. This course is different from the existing MSc Economics course at Manchester because of its focus on mainstream but less theoretical units that need to be completed.

Modules

The aims of this course are threefold to introduce students to basic modeling techniques in the analysis of cross-section, panel and time series economic data; to provide students with sufficient econometric training to read the applied literature in core journals which use these standard techniques; to prepare students for a dissertation topic that analyses either cross-section, panel or time series data using basic econometric techniques.
