Economics PhD Program

At the heart of a great graduate program is a first-rate training in the foundations of Economic Theory and Econometrics.

In our Economics PhD Program, this outcome is achieved via a program of ‘core’ PhD classes, taken by all students, which provide the concepts and analytical tools required of every economist. In addition, each student develops expertise through field subjects in which students study advanced topics and become familiar with the frontiers of research in that field. A list of the fields to be offered is provided below.

Significant scholarship support, free from teaching obligations, is awarded competitively. There will also be opportunities for additional financial support from teaching assistant or research assistant roles.

The program will be synchronised with programs in North America, Europe, and Asia. We aim to routinely place students in regular tenure-track academic positions in the US, Canada, Europe, Asia, and Australia.

The PhD in Economics requires the completion of high-level coursework subjects and rigorous research training producing a PhD thesis. PhD students in Economics progress through the degree in three stages, as outlined in the  UTS Business School Doctoral Framework , and use the Graduate Research Study Plan (GRSP) to plan, monitor, and review their progress.

Coursework 

The coursework component of the PhD in Economics consists of core subjects and research field subjects. The core subjects provide the foundational knowledge essential to first-rate research. The research field subjects take PhD students to the frontiers of research.

Core Subjects

Core subjects provide rigorous training in Economic Theory and Econometrics.  

At the end of their first year, students must pass comprehensive exams in Econometrics and Economic Theory in order to continue the program.

Research field subjects

The program offers a variety of research field subjects to provide state-of-the-art training in economics research. The topics offered reflect the diversity of research strengths of the department, and include:

• Behavioural Economics
• Development Economics
• Econometrics
• Economic Theory
• Experimental Economics
• Health Economics
• Industrial Organisation
• Labour Economics
• Market Design
• Public Economics

Research development

A second-year paper will be due at the end of Year 2. Students will present their papers in the Economics PhD Conference in August, attended by faculty and graduate students. The conference achieves several important objectives. It provides students with the opportunity to develop the presentation skills they will need when on the job market and afterwards.  It fosters a research environment among the graduate students – in a good graduate program students learn a great deal from other graduate students. Finally, it ensures that all students are making good progress as they transition from coursework to research. By the end of their second year, students should have chosen their Primary Supervisor and the other two members of their Supervisory Panel.

Thesis development

Students are expected to participate in the research activities of the department. They should attend and participate in the department seminar series.

Every year students will present their papers at the Economics PhD Conference, attended by faculty and graduate students. Students should have three complete research papers. One of these papers should be polished and suitable for serving as the student’s “job market” paper.

Thesis completion

At the end of the program, students defend and submit their thesis for external examination. A thesis will typically consist of three high-quality chapters, with a brief introduction and conclusion. It should be the view of the students' Supervisory Panel that each chapter will be suitable for submission for publication after further development and polishing.

The final thesis will be examined by at least two external examiners.

Financial support 

Significant scholarship support, free from teaching obligations, is awarded competitively. There are also opportunities for additional financial support from teaching assistant or research assistant roles.

Graduate student teaching 

Teaching experience is an integral part of PhD training. Many academic employers expect new assistant professors to have experience either as teaching assistants or an instructor of their own classes. Students will have various teaching or research opportunities of their interest while in the program.

Programme structure

You will study mathematics, microeconomics, econometrics, and macroeconomics, in total 60 out of 105 credits. All courses in year 1 are compulsory.

Year 2 and 3

You will take the remaining 45 credits during year 2 and 3. In addition to full sequences in development, labour, macroeconomics, and political economics, there are courses in finance, behavioural economics, trade, industrial organisation, etc., along with various methods-oriented courses.

There are also individual courses in public economics and international economics, as well as field-specific courses, where you formulate and carry out entirely new research projects. Historically, these projects have turned into many dissertation chapters, as well as top-tier publications.

Course details PhD programme

Thesis work and defence

The work on the thesis starts during year 2. Usually, you write a thesis consisting of a number of separate articles. The qualitative requirement is that each article should be publishable, but not necessarily published, in a refereed international journal.

The match between a graduate student and an advising team typically occurs sometime during the second or third year; the sooner students start considering possible advisors, the better.

When the thesis is ready and in print, it is publicly discussed and defended. The discussant must be an expert in the relevant field. The thesis defence is given a pass or fail grade. The decision of this grade is made by a committee consisting of three members. The discussant as well as the composition of the committee follows the guidelines of Stockholm University. The main supervisor proposes the discussant and the committee and the decision is made by the Faculty of Social Sciences at Stockholm University.

Collaborations

Phd in economics.

The Crawford Economics PhD is a degree program that applies the discipline of economics to matters of public policy. As Australia’s national university, the ANU is home to the country’s leading group of economists concerned with economic policy. In applications as diverse as international trade and finance, economic development, agriculture, natural resources, and the environment, ANU economists are national and world leaders. Their interests encompass policy issues in Australia, the Asia-Pacific region, and other countries of the world. Crawford Economics PhD brings this expertise together to inform a new generation of researchers and policy makers through postgraduate research training.

An important feature of the Crawford Economics PhD is a year of coursework that is tailored to budding researchers in the economic analysis of public policy. The applied and policy-oriented nature of these courses are what distinguish this PhD degree from the companion Economics PhD program at the ANU College of Business and Economics . The two programs work in close harmony with similar rules and procedures.

Prospective candidates should please follow these steps.

Step 1: Check your eligibility

To be admitted to the Doctor of Philosophy, Economics PhD program you are required to have: • A Bachelor degree with First Class Honours or Second Class Honours Division A in economics with a minimum weighted average of 75 from an Australian Go8 university or equivalent, or • A Bachelor degree with First Class Honours or Second Class Honours Division A with a minimum weighted average of 75 from an Australian Go8 university or equivalent that includes a major or equivalent in economics or is complemented by a Master degree or equivalent in economics, or • A Master degree or equivalent postgraduate qualification in economics that is deemed by the Economics HDR Convenor to be at least equivalent to Second Class Honours Division A at ANU , with a minimum weighted average of 75, or • A Master degree or equivalent postgraduate qualification in economics that is deemed by the Economics HDR Convenor to be at least equivalent to Second Class Honours Division A at ANU , with a minimum weighted average of 70 plus research experience, potentially including a research project at the Master level, academic publications, and/or research experience in a work setting.

In the above, economics includes specialised or closely related fields such as agricultural economics but does not include business or accounting. Applications will be assessed by the Economics HDR Convenor.

Candidates are assumed to have a background in mathematical economics at least at the level of ECON8013 Optimisation for Economics and Financial Economics or IDEC8015 Mathematical Methods in Applied Economics and in econometrics at least at the level of EMET8005 Econometric Methods and Modelling or IDEC8017 Econometric Techniques . Candidates can otherwise complete these courses as part of their program, but these will not be counted toward the Part A coursework requirement.

All applicants must meet the University’s English Language Admission Requirements for Students .

Where relevant, it is possible for students to apply for credit for some of the Part A courses in line with the Research Awards Rule 2021 .

Inquiries regarding the admission requirements and possible course credit may be addressed to the Economics HDR Convenor .

Step 2: Look for two possible supervisors

Please look through the Arndt-Corden Department of Economics academics list for potential supervisors. Note that some of the listed academics might not be available to take on more students. At ANU, Higher Degree Research students have a Chair of Panel, Primary Supervisor (who may be the same person), and Associate Supervisors. If you apply to enter the PhD in Economics, a Primary Supervisor and a second supervisor from the Arndt-Corden Department of Economics at ANU will be needed.

Step 3: Write the thesis proposal within 7–8 pages

Give a precise and informative description of the project.

A summary of the proposed research that includes the key research question or hypothesis, the rationale for the research, the region under study, and the method to be employed in the research.

Aims & significance

A clearly focused statement of the overall purpose of the proposed research (i.e. why is it important?).

Research questions &/or hypotheses

The questions that the proposed research will address and/or the hypotheses that will be tested.

Literature review

Provide a preliminary review of the work that has been carried out in the field and the potential contributions of your research. Demonstrate that you are aware of the wider literature and that your proposed research engages with ongoing debates.

The proposal should set out initial ideas for the proposed methods. You should discuss how these methods are appropriate for the proposed project and indicate the likely feasibility of the proposed approach. Also please explain what type of data will be required and how they are proposed to be collected.

An indication of how the research will be carried out over the duration of a full-time (3–4 years) or part-time (6–8 years) candidature.

If relevant, an indication of the funding that will be required (such as for fieldwork) and options for procuring external funding, as well any special materials or training that may be necessary for the successful completion of the project.

Institutional fit

A statement on why the Arndt-Corden Department of Economics is suitable for your project and an indication of potential supervisors.

A list of references cited in the proposal.

Step 4: Submit an expression of interest to potential supervisors

Before submitting an application for admission, you must submit an expression of interest by emailing the following documents to two potential supervisors: • Curriculum vitae (CV) • Academic transcripts • IELTS/TOEFL results (if applicable) • Thesis proposal (7–8 pages) Your potential supervisors may arrange an interview with you either in person or online.

Step 5: Make a formal application to ANU

• A minimum of 3 letters of reference required (at least 2 academic).

• Have two confirmed Arndt-Corden Department of Economics (ACDE) academics willing to be your proposed supervisors.

• Once two supervisors have signed off on your proposal, you may then submit an online application. Your application will be sent to the Crawford HDR Admissions Committee for assessment at the next Crawford HDR Admissions meeting. Please contact the Crawford HDR Coordinator for more information and see PhD programs for due dates.

Part B – Supervised research and thesis

Following successful completion of Part A, candidates commence Part B of the program comprising a period of study normally equivalent to between 24 and 36 months of full-time research. During this period, each candidate writes a doctoral thesis. Economics PhD theses commonly take the format of three or more essays (each with the general format of introduction, literature review, model(s), data, results, analysis, discussion, conclusion) as well as a general introduction and conclusion. Sometimes, a separate literature review is included after the general introduction. This format should encourage you to publish journal articles out of your thesis. This style of thesis is not a thesis by compilation. It is also possible to undertake a ‘book style’ or unitary thesis. You should discuss your thesis format with your supervisor.

When the thesis is complete, the candidate submits the thesis to be examined. The thesis will be examined by external examiners who are experts in the relevant field. The PhD degree is awarded solely on the basis of the examination of the research thesis.

During Part B, each candidate is encouraged to contribute regularly to seminars via regular attendance, constructive comments on the work of others, and presenting at least once a year.

Progress milestones in Part B

It is University policy that each candidate’s progress should be reviewed periodically. In every year of their PhD studies, PhD candidates are required to submit an Annual Plan, which outlines their research plan for the next twelve months, and a Progress Report, which summarises their progress in their research and also discusses difficulties or changes in their research path, if any. The Progress Report and the Annual Plan form the basis of the student’s Annual Review. In addition to these, in the second year, candidates must submit their Thesis Proposal for review. The proposal is a description of the research questions to be studied in the thesis, and a discussion of the structure of the thesis and its time plan. From this document the student’s supervisory panel can judge the originality, significance, adequacy, and achievability of the thesis plan.

Modelling and Health Economics

Mathematical modelling and economic analysis are key tools for understanding the health and economic burden of disease, and for guiding disease control including evaluating the most efficient approaches. We use a range of theoretical and computational methodologies to address some of the most challenging health questions and we’re at the forefront of developing methods in this area.

Through engagement with policy makers, clinicians, patient groups and other researchers, we promote multi-disciplinary research that improves health, healthcare and wellbeing.

Mathematical modelling

Mathematical modelling research in the school is mostly applied in the context of infectious diseases. This includes  predicting the impacts of preventive interventions such as vaccination and informs real-time decision support in the face of pandemic threats such as COVID-19. 

Health economics

We use a variety of economic and econometrics methods to help address cost-effectiveness, efficiency, and inequalities in healthcare, and focus on the economic evaluations of:   

health management policies and answering interesting policy questions using large and complex datasets 

health financing systems in low- and middle-income countries 

infectious disease prevention strategies. 

Our expertise

 We specialise in a broad range of cutting-edge tools and techniques including epidemiological models, epidemiological analysis, economic evaluation, economic analysis, and operations research techniques. We apply these tools and techniques across a range of research areas, such as:  

Applying mathematical models of COVID-19 transmission and the effect of outbreak responses and movement restrictions.

Modelling and cost-effectiveness analyses to inform immunisation strategies for vaccine-preventable diseases.

Providing early warnings of new COVID-19 waves. 

Modelling the impact of novel population interventions on sexually transmitted infections.

Applying econometric methods to guide health policy decisions.

Developing new health inequity measures based on big data.

Evaluating the burden distribution of paying for health care and the benefits from public spending on health across population groups.

Assessing the development and performance of national health insurance systems in low- and middle- income settings.

Examining effective health systems design, operation, and performance under normal and surge/stress situations.
