doctoral thesis on economics

Curriculum and Thesis

In their first and second years, PhD students are required to complete a series of core classes, coursework in their major and minor fields of study, and an advanced research methods course before proceeding to the thesis-writing stage.

Core courses

Students must satisfy the requirements in at least 10 of 12 half-semester first-year core courses (14.384 and 14.385 are considered second-year courses). The requirements can be met by earning a grade of B or better in the class or by passing a waiver exam.

Waiver exams are offered at the start of the semester in which the course is offered and graded on a pass-fail basis. Students who receive a grade of B- or below in a class can consult the course faculty to determine whether to take the waiver exam or re-take the course the following year. These requirements must all be satisfied before the end of the second year.

Course list

• 14.121: Microeconomic Theory I
• 14.122: Microeconomic Theory II
• 14.123: Microeconomic Theory III
• 14.124: Microeconomic Theory IV
• 14.380: Statistical Methods in Economics
• 14.381: Estimation and Inference for Linear Causal and Structural Models
• 14.382*: Econometrics
• 14.384*: Time Series Analysis (2nd year course)
• 14.385*: Nonlinear Econometric Analysis (2nd year course)
• 14.451: Dynamic Optimization Methods with Applications
• 14.452: Economic Growth
• 14.453: Economic Fluctuations
• 14.454: Economic Crises

*Courses 14.382, 14.384, and 14.385 are each counted as two half-semester courses.

Most students will also take one or more field courses (depending on whether they are waiving core courses) during their first year. Feel free to ask your graduate research officer, field faculty, and advanced students for advice on how you structure your first-year coursework.

Second year students must also successfully complete the two-semester course 14.192: Advanced Research Methods and Communication. The course, which is graded on a pass-fail basis, guides students through the process of writing and presenting the required second-year research paper.

Major field requirement

By the end of year two, PhD students must complete the requirements for two major fields in economics. This entails earning a B or better in two designated courses for each field. Some fields recommend additional coursework or papers for students intending to pursue research in the field.

Major fields must be declared by the Monday following the spring break of your second year. Your graduate registration officer must approve your field selections.

Minor field requirement

PhD students are also required to complete two minor fields, taking two courses in each field and earning a grade of B or better. Your graduate registration officer must approve your field selections.

Minor coursework is normally completed by the end of year two, but in some cases students can defer the completion of one field until after general exams. Students must consult with their graduate registration officer before making a deferment.

Options for minor fields include the eleven economics major fields, plus computation and statistics (from the interdisciplinary PhD in Economics and Statistics).

Students who wish to satisfy one of the minor field requirements by combining two courses from different fields–for example, environmental economics and industrial organization II–can petition the second-year graduate registration officer for permission.

At least one minor field should be from the department’s standard field list.

The fields in which the Department offers specialization and the subjects that will satisfy their designation as a minor field are given in the chart below. Some fields overlap so substantially that both cannot be taken by a student. In any event, the same subject cannot be counted towards more than a single minor field. Students must receive the approval of their Graduate Registration Officer for their designated major and minor fields.

List of fields

• Development
• Econometrics
• Industrial organization
• International
• Macroeconomics
• Organizational
• Political economy
• Public finance
• Computation and statistics (minor only)

General exams

MIT requires doctoral candidates to complete an advanced course of study that includes general exams at its completion. Beginning in 2019-20, the Economics Department will operationalize this requirement to include successful completion of: the core and other required courses; course exams and other requirements of courses in each of a student’s two major and two minor fields; the written research paper and oral presentation components of 14.192. Students may present for the general exams while having one remaining minor field to complete. The faculty will review these components together with the candidate’s overall course record to determine whether students have passed the general exam requirement and can proceed to the thesis writing stage.

Typical course schedule

Math Camp begins on the second Monday in August.

Fall Semester

14.121/14.122 (Micro Theory I/II) 14.451/14.452 (Macro Theory I/II) 14.380/14.381 (Statistical Method in Economics & Applied Econometrics) Field Course (major or minor)

3 Field Courses 14.192 (Advanced Research and Communication)

Years 3 and up

Field workshop Field lunch Thesis writing

Upon satisfying the core and field requirements, PhD candidates embark on original research culminating in a completed dissertation. A PhD thesis normally consists of three research papers of publishable quality. The thesis must be approved by a student’s primary and secondary thesis advisors, and by an anonymous third reader. These three faculty members will be the candidate's thesis committee and are responsible for its acceptance. Collaborative work is acceptable and encouraged, but there must be at least one paper in the dissertation without a co-author who was a faculty member when the research started.

Criteria for satisfactory progress

Third-year students.

• Meet regularly with their advisor
• Participate consistently in their primary field advising lunch, their primary field workshop, and the third-year student research lunch
• Participate in third-year meetings organized by the thesis graduate research officer

Students should present on their research in progress at least once in both the third-year student research lunches and their field advising lunch. Presentations provide opportunities for early and broad feedback on research ideas and the chance to develop oral presentation skills. Research ideas or early stage work in progress is encouraged and expected.

Fourth-year and later students

• Participate consistently in their primary field advising lunch and their primary field workshop
• Present at least once per year in their field advising lunch or field workshop. A presentation each semester in the field advising lunch is strongly recommended by most fields; consult your advisors for more information

Satisfactory progress toward a dissertation will be evaluated based on progress assessments by the student’s primary advisor, regular participation in the lunches and workshops, and field lunch or workshop presentations that show continued progress.

Spotlight on Research

Our faculty and PhD students continually produce high-level research. The Chicago Booth Review frequently highlights their contributions in economics.

To Keep Students Focused, Try Paying Their Parents

A study of subsidized training programs and incentives. Research from Hamna Ahmed (Lahore School of Economics), Zunia Tirmazee (Lahore), Rebecca Wu (UChicago PhD), and Emma Zhang (Chicago Booth PhD), suggest that including parents in decision-making may be most effective.

How Demolishing Public Housing Increased Inequity

A study by Chicago Booth's Milena Almagro, Eric Chyn (University of Texas), and Bryan A. Stuart (Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia) investigate what happened to Chicago's public housing system and find that demolishing public housing increased inequality.

Why Medical Tourism Could Be Good Policy

Rather than investing in putting more medical facilities in remote areas, it could be more effective to pay for patients to visit healthcare facilities, according to research by Chicago Booth's Johnathan Dingel, Joshua D. Gottlieb (UChicago Harris School), Maya Lozinski (Harris PhD) and Pauline Mourot (Chicago Booth PhD). 

NBER Dissertation Fellowship in Consumer Financial Management

The National Bureau of Economics (NBER) awarded PhD Student, Benedict Guttman-Kenney, a dissertation fellowship to support his research in the economics of credit information.

Inside the Booth PhD Experience

Nick Tsivanidis, PhD ’18, talks about the culture of interdisciplinary study he found at Booth.

Video Transcript

Nick Tsivanidis, ’18: 00:03 My PhD thesis was about how commute costs shape economic organization in cities. Billions of people over the next 50, 100 years, they're going to be moving into mostly developing cities. Governments are going to spend huge amounts of money on providing new infrastructure to try and accommodate them. My project had both macro and applied micro elements. One of the benefits of Booth is that you have access to people from a wide range of areas who are very happy to encourage you to work on interdisciplinary topics.

Nick Tsivanidis, ’18: 00:38 I've always been interested in development and in particular how cities and countries can use evidence-based policy to try and improve welfare of their citizens. I've decided that pursuing a PhD would allow me to research and help translate that research into policy. What attracted me to the PhD program here at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business was this culture of interdisciplinary study. People at Chicago certainly aren't scared or will shy away from trying to think at the intersection of different areas. This is where a lot of very fruitful and productive new research actually takes place, which is at the border of frontiers. That really attracted me to come here.

Current Economics Students

From the effects of government regulation on economies to the impact of urban transit infrastructures, our PhD students examine a wide range of economic issues. When they graduate, they go on to positions at some of the top universities and companies in the world.

PhD in Economics

PhD students take 16 courses, roughly half of which are spent acquiring the core analytic tools of the profession (microeconomics, macroeconomics, and quantitative methods), with the balance spent applying those tools in particular fields of specialization. All PhD students must complete a doctoral dissertation (thesis).

The PhD in Economics is a STEM designated degree program.

View the complete PhD Rules here

Program Requirements

Doctoral students must complete a minimum of 16 semester courses (64 credits). They are required to successfully complete the core courses by the end of the first year.

Theory and Quantitative Core Requirements

These core courses must be passed by the end of the first year with a grade of at least B- in each course.

• EC 701 Advanced Microeconomics I (4 credits)
• EC 702 Advanced Macroeconomics I (4 credits)
• EC 703 Advanced Microeconomics II (4 credits)
• EC 704 Advanced Macroeconomics II (4 credits)
• EC 707 Advanced Statistics for Economists (4 credits)
• EC 708 Advanced Econometrics I (4 credits)

Students must also take EC 705 Mathematical Economics in the first semester, unless a waiver is granted, and EC 709 Advanced Econometrics II (4 credits) in the third semester.

In addition, students must pass a qualifying examination in both microeconomics and macroeconomics. Students have at most three opportunities to take the qualifying examinations; failing may result in termination from the PhD program.

Field Requirements

All students must pass 2 2-course fields, each with a minimum grade average of B.

In addition, students must take at least 2 other courses. The following fields are generally offered each year:

• Development
• Econometrics
• Economic Theory
• Empirical Finance
• Financial Econometrics
• Industrial Organization
• International Economics
• Labor Economics
• Money/Macroeconomics
• Public Economics

GPA Requirements

All courses must be passed with a grade of B– or higher. An overall grade point average (GPA) of 3.0 must be attained in all courses taken after enrollment in the Graduate School of Arts & Sciences.

Time Requirement

The PhD program is designed so that a typical student can complete all requirements within 5 to 6 years. International students may be subject to additional restrictions imposed by the terms of their visas, as governed by the International Students & Scholars Office (ISSO).

Students are expected to meet the following milestones each year:

By the end of the 1st year:

• Finish and pass all core first-year courses, as well as EC 705 (unless exempted through placement exam).
• Sit for the first attempt at the micro and macro qualifying exams in June. The second attempt, if necessary, is in August.

By the end of the 2nd year:

• Pass EC 709, a required course in Advanced Econometrics.
• Continue and, if possible, complete remaining coursework, including a two-course sequence in each of two fields. A B average (3.0) is required in each of the field course sequence.
• Achieve an overall GPA of at least 3.0.
• If both qualifiers are not passed, the third and final attempt is in June of the second year.
• Each student must prepare a research paper during the second year and the following summer. By April 1 of the second year, the student must ask a faculty member to serve as an advisor on this paper; have this faculty member agree to serve in this manner; and inform the DGS of the topic of the paper and the advisor’s name. The paper is due in the third year as described below.

By the end of the 3rd year:

• Submit the second-year paper by October 1. By October 15, the faculty advisor must provide (i) a grade for the paper; and (ii) a brief written evaluation the paper. These documents will be sent to the DGS and the student. A student must receive a passing grade on the research paper.
• Complete all coursework with GPA of at least 3.0.
• Continue work on research for the dissertation.
• Attend and present at least annually in one of the research workshops until completion of all degree requirements.

Years 4, 5, and (if necessary) 6:

• Student carries out thesis research, defending the thesis no later than the end of the sixth year.

Dissertation

Under the supervision of two faculty advisers, a student prepares a dissertation proposal for presentation at a proposal seminar. If the proposal is approved, the student proceeds to research and write the dissertation. When the dissertation is completed, the student must defend it at a final oral examination. The Graduate School of Arts & Sciences requires that the dissertation be completed within seven years of initial enrollment in the program.

CCAS Doctoral Student Handbook

Dissertation Proposal Defense

• PhD proposals must be defended within the first two semesters of candidacy. Failure to comply will result in a semester of academic probation or warning, and subsequent dismissal of the former PhD candidate from the program.
• The dissertation proposal document should be 25–30 pages, in 11-point font, double-spaced, with one-inch margins. It should state the research questions, position the expected research in the existing literature, indicate expected results, outline the structure of the dissertation and indicate the time frame for carrying out the research tasks.
• The PhD dissertation proposal defense brings together the candidate and all members of the dissertation committee to discuss the proposed dissertation in person. It is a detailed discussion of the research questions and the envisioned work. The end result of the defense is a common understanding of what needs to be done, the approximate timing and any contingencies.
• No more than two of the dissertation committee members can participate in the defense electronically.
• The PhD dissertation proposal defense is open to faculty of the Economics Department and students invited by the candidate defending the proposal.
• The announcement of the PhD dissertation proposal defense is made at least two weeks in advance to all members of the Economics Department faculty and doctoral students in the department. The announcement lists information about the candidate, the title and abstract of the dissertation proposal, the names and affiliations of the dissertation committee and the time and location of the defense. It also appends the full document of the proposal.
• If the defense is approved, all members of the dissertation committee will sign a form at the end of the defense. The form is then submitted to the Unit II director.

Dissertation and Defense

• At least one essay of a multi-essay PhD dissertation should be solely authored by the degree candidate.
• It is recommended that the "job market paper" not be coauthored

The Department of Economics will follow the procedures for PhD examinations laid out by the Columbian College, as explained in the Doctoral Student Handbook . In addition, the department requires that:

• No more than two members of the examining committee at a dissertation defense can participate electronically.
• Dissertation defenses should normally be held in the fall or spring semesters.

Dissertation Committee

In addition to the CCAS dissertation committee requirements outlined in the Doctoral Student Handbook , the Department of Economics specifies certain requirements for the committee procedure.

• Dissertation committee: A director and two readers who have advised the student during the dissertation research process. The director may drawn from outside of the academic unit in which the student is enrolled. If the director is from outside of the academic unit, then the committee must also have a co-director from inside the unit.
• Two examiners: Examiners cannot have had a direct role in the dissertation research process. One examiner must be from within the academic unit, with the other examiner coming from outside of the academic unit.
• Chair of the examination: The examination is chaired by a member of the academic unit in which the student is enrolled. The chair cannot be drawn from the dissertation committee or examiners. It is recommended that the director of graduate studies, if not an examiner or on the dissertation committee, serve as chair. The chair takes no part in the examination itself except, if asked, to pose an introductory question to elicit an opening summary from the student.
• The student’s current or prospective immediate supervisor of employment is not permitted to be an examiner.

The members of the examination committee should be chosen by the dissertation director, in consultation with the student. If there is a difference of opinion, then the director of graduate studies should get involved in the selection process.

The version of the dissertation that is to be defended must be circulated to all examination committee members at least one month prior to the examination. PhD examinations should be announced in the academic unit at the time the dissertation is circulated to examination committee members, one month prior to the examination

• The chair of the examination assembles members of the examination committee. While the student and any observers are outside of the room, the chair discusses examination procedures with committee members. Issues that are discussed should include the number of rounds of questioning, the order of questioning, and the time allocated for questioning. Typical practices include two rounds of questioning, the outside examiner questioning the student first, and each committee member questioning the student for 10–15 minutes per round. The dissertation director does not participate in the questioning.
• Opening the examination: The student, dissertation director and examination chair all stand at the head of the table for the following introduction.
• Chair: This is a final examination for the degree of doctor of philosophy. I call on the director of the candidate’s research to present the candidate. 
• Director: It is my pleasure to present [student name], who has completed all of the requirements for the degree of doctor of philosophy. [Student name] and [her/his/their] dissertation are before the committee for examination.
• The student, director and chair are seated, and the examination begins. Typically, the student provides a brief (10-minute) summary of the research question, methodology and main findings. This presentation can be omitted if the student has already presented the dissertation in the academic unit.
• When the questioning is completed, the student and any observers leave the room. The dissertation director is called upon to make a case for the merits of the dissertation and the student’s performance at the examination.
• Each examiner and dissertation committee member offers an evaluation of the dissertation and examination.
• The examination committee must decide (1) whether the student has passed or failed the examination and (2) if the student has passed, what revisions to the dissertation, if any, are required? The decision to pass the dissertation and defense is reached by a majority vote.
• In the event that revisions are required, the examination committee must decide which members wish to see and approve the revised dissertation, as well as the deadline by which revisions must be submitted. Ordinarily, only the dissertation director oversees the revisions, but other committee members can be involved if they wish. Regardless, the director should be given clear instructions to convey to the student regarding the nature and timing of expected revisions.
• Once these matters have been decided, the student and any observers are invited back into the room. The student stands with the chair of the examination at the head of the table. If the student has passed, all members of the examination committee should be standing when the student re-enters the room. The chair announces the results of the examination.
• The dissertation director or chair of the examination reports the results of the examination to the director of graduate studies, who then completes the requisite paperwork and submits it paperwork to Columbian College.

Please also see the Doctoral Student Handbook for further clarification. In particular, Columbian College rules specify that the candidate's current or prospective immediate supervisor of employment is not permitted to be an examiner.

134 Economics Thesis Topics: Ideas for Outstanding Writing

Writing a thesis is not an easy task. For most of the students, it can be even intimidating, especially when you do not know where to start your research.

Here, we have provided an economics thesis topics list. After all, everyone knows that choosing the right idea is crucial when writing an academic paper. In economics, it can combine history, math, social studies, politics, and numerous other subjects. You should also have solid foundations and a sound factual basis for a thesis. Without these elements, you won’t be able to master your research paper.

The issue is:

⭐ What Does a Thesis in Economics Look Like?

A good thesis in economics is a blend between an empirical paper and a theoretical one. One of the essential steps in choosing a topic in economics is to decide which one you will write.

You may write, research, analyze statistical data and other information. Or build and study a specific economic model.

Or why not both!

Here are some questions you can ask when deciding what topic to choose:

• What has already been written on this topic?
• What economic variables will my paper study?
• Where should I look for the data?
• What econometrics techniques should I use?
• What type of model will I study?

The best way to understand what type of research you have to do is to write a thesis proposal. You will most probably be required to submit it anyway. Your thesis supervisor will examine your ideas, methods, list of secondary and primary sources. At some universities, the proposal will be graded.

After you get the initial feedback, you will have a clear idea of what to adjust before writing your thesis. Only then, you’ll be able to start.

🔥 Supreme Economics Thesis Topics List

• Fast fashion in India.
• The UK housing prices.
• Brexit and European trade.
• Behavioral economics.
• Healthcare macroeconomics.
• COVID-19’s economic impact.
• Global gender wage gap.
• Commodity dependence in Africa.
• International trade – developing countries.
• Climate change and business development.

👍 Economics Bachelor’s Thesis Topics

At the U.S. Universities, an undergraduate thesis is very uncommon. However, it depends on the Department Policy.

The biggest challenge with the Bachelor’s Thesis in economics concerns its originality. Even though you are not required to conduct entirely unique research, you have to lack redundant ideas.

You can easily avoid making this mistake by simply choosing one of these topics. Also, consider visiting IvyPanda essays database. It’s a perfect palce to conduct a brainstorming session and come up with fresh ideas for a paper, as well as get tons of inspiration.

📝 How to Select an Economics Thesis Topic

As your academic journey is coming to an end, it’s time to pick the right topic for your thesis. The whole academic life you were preparing to undertake this challenge.

Here is the list of six points that will help you to select an economics thesis topic:

• Make sure it is something you are genuinely interested in. It is incredibly challenging to write something engaging if you are not interested in the topic. So, choose wisely and chose what excites you.
• Draw inspiration from the previous student’s projects. A great place to start is by looking at what the previous students wrote. You can find some fresh ideas and a general direction.
• Ask your thesis advisor for his feedback. Most probably, your thesis advisor supervised many students before. They can be a great help too because they know how to assess papers. Before meeting with your professor, do some basic research, and understand what topic is about.
• Be original, but not too much. You do not want to spend your time writing about a project that many people wrote about. Your readers will not be interested in reading it, but your professors as well. However, make sure you do not pick anything too obscure. It will leave you with no secondary sources.
• Choose a narrow and specific topic. Not only will it allow you to be more original, but also to master a topic. When the issue is too broad, there is just too much information to cover in one thesis.
• Go interdisciplinary. If you find yourself interested in history, philosophy, or any other related topic, it can help you write an exceptional thesis in economics. Most of your peers may work on pure economics. Then, the interdisciplinary approach can help you to stand out among them.

Full-time graduate students not receiving financial aid must enroll in a minimum of 9 hours each semester during the regular academic year. COMPREHENSIVE EXAMINATIONS Written examinations in micro and macro theory are required after the completion of the second regular semester of full-time course work. The first set of exams are given late May or early June. Each exam is graded anonymously according to the following scale: “Superior”. The student demonstrates mastery of the material examined. “Good”. The student demonstrates understanding of the material examined, but there are some deficiencies. “Poor”. The student demonstrates significant deficiencies in their understanding of the material examined. “Fail”. The student does not take the test or demonstrates no understanding of the material examined. Following the first set of exams, the Graduate Committee, acting on recommendations from the Graduate Director, will make a determination of each student’s status as follows: If the student achieves a Superior on all exams, the student has completed the comprehensive exam requirement at the Ph.D. level. If the student has not achieved a Superior on all exams, the Graduate Committee may determine that the student’s totality of work, including grades, is sufficient to warrant advancement and the student has completed the comprehensive exam requirement at the Ph.D. level. If the student has not achieved a Superior on all exams, and the Graduate Committee does not feel the student’s body of work warrants advancement, it will inform the student of which individual exams must be retaken in order to advance. A second set of examinations are given in the week before classes begin in August. These exams are graded on the same scale as above. Following the second set of exams, the Graduate Committee, acting on recommendations from the Graduate Director, will make a final determination of each student’s status as follows: If the student has, accounting for both sets of exams, achieved a Superior on all exams, the student has completed the comprehensive exam requirement at the Ph.D. level. If the student has not achieved a Superior on all exams, and the Graduate Committee does not feel the student’s body of work warrants advancement to Ph.D. candidacy but did show sufficient understanding, it will inform the student that they have completed the comprehensive exam requirement at the MA level. The student is allowed to continue taking courses in their second year and can receive the MA degree if they fulfill the remaining requirements. If the student does not fall into any of the first three categories, then the student has not completed the comprehensive exam requirement at either Ph.D. or MA level, and will not be awarded a degree. No further attempts at the examinations are allowed after August following the first year of study at UH. 2nd YEAR PROJECT By the end of May following their 2nd year, each student must have a written project proposal signed by a faculty advisor who has agreed to oversee the project. The proposal should be created in collaboration with the faculty advisor and specifies the required work to be completed over the summer following the 2nd year. The exact nature of this work is up to the faculty advisor and student, and could include, but is not limited to, the following: a detailed presentation of core papers in a given field, replication of an existing empirical or quantitative paper, collection of new data, or a paper based on an original idea. The project is due prior to the first day of classes in August following the student’s 2nd year of study. The project will be evaluated by the faculty advisor, who will inform the Graduate Director if the student has successfully completed the project. If the Graduate Committee, acting on the recommendation of the faculty advisor and Graduate Director, deems the project satisfactory, the student is admitted to Ph.D. candidacy. If the paper is not satisfactory, the Graduate Committee may, at their discretion, issue a “revise and resubmit” to the student. In this case, the student has until the last day of classes of the fall semester of their 3rd year to complete a new version of the project. If the Graduate Committee, acting again on the recommendation of the advisor and Graduate Director, find the new version satisfactory, the student will be admitted to Ph.D. candidacy. If the Graduate Committee, either at the initial submission in August, or at the revised submission, decide that the project is not satisfactory, then the student will not be admitted to Ph.D. candidacy but can complete their 3rd-year courses and remain eligible to graduate with the MA degree. 3rd YEAR PAPER This paper is due by May 15th following the student’s 3rd year of study. The paper will be evaluated by a reading committee of three faculty members selected by the student and approved by the Graduate Director. The 3rd year paper must be original research done by the student on a topic of their choice. If the Graduate Committee, acting on the recommendation of the reading committee, deems the paper satisfactory, the student is allowed to continue as a Ph.D. candidate. If the paper is not satisfactory, the Graduate Committee may, at its own discretion, issue a “revise and resubmit” to the student. In this case, the student has until the first day of class in August of that year to complete a new version of the paper. That paper will be evaluated by September 10th. If that new version is satisfactory to the Graduate Committee, the student will be allowed to continue in the program. If the paper is deemed unsatisfactory at either the initial submission in May or at the revised submission in August, the student may remain in classes for their 4th year and is eligible to graduate with the MA. 3rd AND 4th YEAR PRESENTATIONS Shortly after the end of classes in May of the 3rd year, and both December and May of the 4th year, students will be expected to give a presentation of their current research in progress to the entire faculty. The time allotted for the presentations will be set by the Graduate Director. DISSERTATION DEFENSE The dissertation will be supervised by a committee agreed upon by the student, the primary faculty dissertation advisor, and the graduate director. The committee must include one member from outside the department. The committee is typically composed of the primary faculty advisor (committee chair), two other faculty advisors from the department, and the member from outside the department. The Ph.D. degree is awarded when the student has successfully defended the dissertation before the graduate faculty of the department and turned in the completed dissertation to the appropriate university office. CHANGE IN REQUIREMENTS Students may petition the graduate director for permission to deviate from particular program requirements. Such petitions must be in writing and should include a justification for the proposed change. TRANSFER STUDENTS Office space and facilities. The Department provides most funded graduate students with office space for study and interaction with other students. The department also runs a fully equipped graduate student computer lab with state-of-the-art personal computers and software. FINANCIAL AID The department offers several assistantships for academic support, research, or teaching in the first year. These positions pay a monthly stipend and allow tuition to be waived and fees to be paid at in-state rates. These stipends cover the 9-month school year and very often some or all of the summer months. Summer support, however, is not guaranteed. All financial support is allocated by the department graduate director and is contingent upon available funding. In return for financial support, and as part of graduate training in economics, graduate assistants help with instruction and research. Compensation is directly related to hours of work and level of responsibility. Teaching assistants work 20 hours per week supporting faculty teaching and research. Teaching fellows teach a section of introductory economics. All assistantships are awarded on a competitive basis under the following guidelines: Entering Students. Only students with outstanding transcripts, GRE scores, and other favorable credentials are offered aid in the first year. The Graduate Committee allocates these assistantships. Supplemental funding is also available, on a competitive basis, from the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies. Second through Fifth Year. Any full-time student on financial aid making satisfactory progress in the program is assured partial aid in the second through the fourth year. A student who was awarded aid in the first year will receive aid in the second year if the student has taken the theory exams and maintained a 3.0 grade point average. Students who receive a superior on the theory examination and maintain good progress will receive financial aid in their third and fourth years. Aid in the fifth year is provided if the candidate is making good progress on the dissertation. Only senior graduate students with the requisite academic performance and communication skills are assigned as teaching fellows. Responsibilities and Progress. Students are expected to perform their research and teaching responsibilities in a professional manner. Poor performance can result in the loss of financial aid.

In a GhanaWeb publication, Kwesi Pratt Jr. claimed that the New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer would not have become vice president if the party had spent time analyzing Dr. Bawumia's doctoral thesis. The veteran journalist expressed that after reading the vice president's thesis, he fully understood why Ghana's economy is in a difficult situation. "This president was honest with us. He admitted that he cannot manage the economy and that's why he brought Dr. Bawumia on board, believing he had found the 'wiz kid.' Perhaps if they had read the thesis Dr. Bawumia presented for his doctorate, they might have hesitated in accepting the president's honesty. "I have taken the trouble to read the thesis. When I read it, I had no doubts about why we are in this mess," said Kwesi Pratt Jr. Responding to these comments, Coach Opeele questioned Kwesi Pratt's academic qualifications to critique an economics doctoral thesis. Coach Opeele stressed that the veteran journalist's comments were disrespectful to the NPP presidential candidate and all doctorate holders in the country. "This made me understand why someone would just wake up and say a Dutch passport is better than a PhD. Because, on what academic grounds did Kwesi Pratt understand the economics doctoral thesis? This comment is a total disrespect to PhD holders," Opeele wrote on X.
