A PhD program in Theoretical Economics is a research-intensive discipline focused on the development, analysis, and advancement of economic theories and models that explain complex economic phenomena and decision-making. The program emphasizes rigorous mathematical, analytical, and econometric methods to investigate how individuals, firms, markets, and governments make decisions under conditions of scarcity, uncertainty, and strategic interaction. Doctoral research may address areas such as consumer and producer behavior, market structure and competition, game theory, general equilibrium, economic growth and development, welfare economics, information economics, and resource allocation. Through advanced theoretical modelling and empirical validation, the program aims to produce original research that contributes to economic theory and provides deeper insights into contemporary economic challenges and policy-relevant questions.
