The Master in Quantitative Economics is a two-year graduate program oriented towards research and advanced quantitative methodsin economics.  Entirely taught in English, it seeks to train top-notch economists who are open and reactive to the many questions and challenges facing contemporary economics. At the same time, graduates will have mastered the quantitative tools to address such challenges in terms of data, especially in light of changes brought by Big Data to the world of public and private decision-makers.

After acquiring the fundamental economic concepts in the first year, you will then specialize in a specific economic field through one of the two Master 2 tracks: the Quantitative Economic Analysis track provides training in economic research, while the Digital Economics track is focused on professional training. In addition to quantitative methods, the curriculum also features instruction on massive database processing, as well as the use of computer programming to solve complex economic issues.

The Master in Quantitative Economics offers a high-level education enabling graduates to apply to a PhD program, as a professional economist in public or semi-public institutions including international organizations (federal departments, economics research institutes, central banks, etc.), or in the private sector (as data analyst, consultant, economic analyst, etc.), in France or abroad.

 This master's degree is part of PSL's graduate program in Economics.
