How should competition policy deal with online platforms? What is the right monetary policy in today’s economy? The MSc Economics teaches you how to use modern economics to deal with microeconomic and macroeconomic problems.
You will study economic theories at a high analytical level and learn about the application of theory and research methods to economic practice and policy.
