Overview

Globalized economies are exposed to globalized risks. Financial crises, climate change, wars and geopolitics, or the spread of pandemics threaten globally integrated economies. All of these disruptions are global in nature. Households, firms, and policymakers must address risks that are no longer confined to national borders.

To deal with global risk, we need thinkers and managers with a skill set that combines economics with a strong quantitative focus and knowledge from neighboring disciplines such as international politics, development studies, and international law. This program prepares students to understand a risky world economy. With a Master's degree in Economics of Global Risk, students are well-prepared for a career in government, non-governmental organizations, multinational corporations, and research institutions.
