Pedagogical objectives

  • The objective of this master's degree is to provide a general curriculum in economics at the research level, allowing for a continuation into a PhD program.
  • Students will acquire the fundamental technics and concepts in economics, both theoretical and empirical, as well as a critical thinking about the way to use them.
  • The first year of the program (M1) is structured around 8 compulsory core courses that form the common ground on which the research specialization in the second year (M2) will be based, supplemented by two optional discovery courses and two research projects. The Research Master thesis will allow students to demonstrate their ability to conduct independent, original, and innovative scientific research.

Working environment

  • 2 research laboratories at the ENS : the Institut des sciences sociales du politique (ISP), which combines sociology, history and political science; and the Institutions et Dynamiques historiques de l'économie et de la société (IDHES) laboratory, which develops a multidisciplinary approach to economic activities and the institutions that structure them; and then, the Centre d'Economie de Paris-Saclay (CEPS), focusing on 3 main themes (economic theory, macroeconomics and applied economics).
  • 1 research laboratory at the Faculté Jean Monet: the Research Center in Economics & Management (RITM) takes a multidisciplinary approach to a wide range of subjects linking economics and management.
