Overview

The Economics, Analytics and Decision Sciences Program at IMT School for Advanced Studies Lucca aims at providing participants with a solid knowledge of modern analytical methods, following a multidisciplinary approach.

Features

The Program develops a strong integration of concepts, analytical methods and practical skills, to train the new generation of economists, social scientists, managers and professionals with specific competences in the analysis, interpretation and management of the complexity of economic, firm, and social systems.

Students are trained to become researchers and decision-makers in academia, politics, administration and business, through the integration of knowledge that lies at the borders between economics, management and the other social sciences, while maintaining the unifying language of mathematics and statistics and borrowing the tools necessary for specific applications from computer science and psychology.

Programme Structure

Curriculum:

The Program is characterized by the interdisciplinary nature of its approach. The obstacles that traditionally divide the different domains of knowledge are overcome by addressing the problems that arise in the various application fields - industrial, institutional, health, environmental, technological, social, ethical, etc. - through a variety of scientific methodologies derived from probability theory, theory of the firm, mathematical statistics, econometrics, machine learning, experimental methods, cognitive science, computer science and computational methods.

The Program is characterized by the presence of three major areas of knowledge and application that can be traced back in a broad sense to economics, management and decision sciences.
