管理哲学博士-经济学/公共政策

经济学通常被定义为研究在资源匮乏时个人，公司和机构如何做出选择。它不仅是一门学科，而且是一种思维方式。掌握基本经济学可以帮助商学院学生从管理决策中权衡取舍。重要的公共政策辩论通常也围绕基本经济问题展开。
Economics is often defined as the study of how individuals, firms and institutions make choices when resources are scarce. It is not just a discipline but also a way of thinking. Mastering basic economics can help business school students think through the trade-offs involved in managerial decision-making. Important public policy debates often revolve around basic economic questions as well. How do government health care programs affect health care spending, access to care, and medical innovation How do government-backed home loans affect the incentive to take on real estate risk Students will get exposure to these types of questions both in core economics classes and in elective health care or real estate courses. In line with the Merage School's focus on leadership in a digital world, students will also gain an understanding of how the digital world is changing markets. The types of questions that can be addressed include: What are transaction costs and how do digital technologies affect these What is market clearing and how does surge pricing work What are sunk costs and how does this help one understand the pricing of software products Like the digital world itself, the application of economics to these questions will continue to evolve.
