About

The Economics program from Louisiana State University is designed to develop economists capable of adding to the knowledge of economics, performing independent research, and teaching at the collegiate level. 

Overview

We provide our graduate students with analytic skills and a breadth of economic understanding that prepares them for careers in academics, government, or business.

To this end, we encourage our students to begin research as soon as possible. Once our students finish their coursework, they immediately start research with their advisors. Many of them publish papers before they complete the PhD program, helping them in the job market.

The Economics program from Louisiana State University consists of a core of macro- and micro- theory and three fields of specialized study--a macroeconomics field, a microeconomics field, and the econometrics field. 

Original Research Paper 

Students will finish all required coursework by the end of the second year. At this time, they will choose a faculty advisory committee to approve and ultimately grade an original research paper (third-year paper). 

The third-year paper is between the general exam (i.e., the qualifying exams described in the previous section) and the dissertation defense (which constitutes the final exam for the PhD). The third-year paper is the final exam for the MS in Economics degree for PhD students. 

Students will be expected to complete and present the paper in an open department seminar by mid-February of the spring semester of their third year. Students who fail to pass this requirement will be released from the program.
