Master in ECONOMIC ANALYSIS AND POLICY

At Università degli Studi di Torino, tuition comes to 3,271 USD per year.

Economic Analysis and Policy is a master's degree taught in English at Università degli Studi di Torino in Torino, Italy, spanning two years. This field builds on undergraduate economics training to give students advanced tools for analyzing how economies function and how policy decisions affect markets, households, and institutions. Typical coursework includes microeconomic theory, macroeconomics, econometrics, and applied policy analysis, often supplemented by modules on public economics, labor markets, international economics, or environmental and development topics depending on how the program is structured. Students learn to use statistical and econometric methods to evaluate the effects of economic policies, interpret data, and construct models that explain economic behavior at both the individual and aggregate level. The emphasis on policy analysis distinguishes this area from purely theoretical economics programs, as students are trained to translate economic reasoning into recommendations that can inform decisions made by governments, central banks, and international organizations. Graduates typically pursue careers as economists or policy analysts within government ministries, central banks, regulatory agencies, and international organizations, as well as within research institutes and think tanks focused on economic policy. Others move into the private sector, working in economic consultancy, financial institutions, or corporate strategy roles that require rigorous quantitative analysis. The degree can also serve as a step toward doctoral study in economics for students interested in an academic or research-focused career. Delivered in English at a university with a long-standing economics faculty in Torino, the program is designed for students seeking advanced training in economic reasoning applied to real policy questions.
