Economics

The range of study in economics is quite broad and includes the traditional topics of micro-analysis and macro-analysis such as price theory, market structure, industrial organization, the banking system, and the flow of national income. Students take advantage of a wide range of course offerings in both Chicago Booth and the Department of Economics and write their dissertations in industrial organization, labor economics, macroeconomics, microeconomics, or related areas.

For details on the specifics on economics as a dissertation area, see General Examination Requirements - By Area in the PhD Program Guidebook (PDF).
