Description and educational objectives

EMIS aims to train PhDs who can apply analytical and computational tools to functional data to make complex decisions in economics and management. The goal is achieved by integrating-as a particular specificity of the course-the tools of economics, management and mathematical-statistics. Students are provided with a solid interdisciplinary foundation and the cultural training necessary to deal with the methodological specificity of the chosen topic, identify an original research perspective and develop a doctoral thesis capable of contributing effectively to the advancement of knowledge.
The course enables participants to approach the doctoral research project from both the perspective of economic theory and the perspective of business theory, embracing the precipitous study contexts of the relevant theoretical fields: business economics, business economics and management, business organization, political economics, applied economics, public economics, firm finance, economics of financial intermediaries, as well as the methods supporting economic and business disciplines.
The focus is on various areas of economics that are areas of interest both academically and practically. Therefore, businesses, nonprofit organizations, companies to public administrations, and international institutions may be the object of research.
The knowledge and skills transferred to students are designed to ensure a fruitful professional placement in academia or, alternatively, in companies or public administrations and international institutions in positions with strong research connotations in the regional, Italian, and European labor markets.
