Program Description

The M.A. Economics (MAE) program is designed to give students a quantitative approach to economics with the flexibility to tailor the degree to fit their future goals. It offers comprehensive instruction in a wide range of areas within the discipline, including computational economics, economic analysis, and financial economics. Graduates of the program are adept in applied research and financial analysis, highly competitive on the finance sector job market, and ready for top Ph.D. programs.

The master’s program is designed to combine theoretical rigor in core areas of economics with exceptional flexibility in course requirements to encourage students to explore their academic interests. In addition to master’s-level economics courses, students frequently enroll in many doctoral level courses in economics and in courses from other departments. The curriculum is intended to be completed in three or four semesters during the academic year, and successful completion is based upon evaluation of the student’s portfolio of work.

Most graduate classes are sufficiently small so that each student gets individual faculty attention. The Duke Libraries holdings are extensive, and economics graduate students have access to many digital and computing resources. Students have many opportunities for interaction with related disciplines, including environmental economics in conjunction with the Nicholas School of the Environment and Earth Sciences, finance and regulation through the Fuqua School of Business, law and economics through the School of Law, public policy through the Sanford Institute of Public Policy, and statistics through the Statistical Sciences.

Creating Connections, Fostering Opportunities: Duke's Women in Economics Initiative

March 4, 2024.

Elizabeth Richardson, Trinity Communications

Creating Connections, Fostering Opportunities: Duke's Women in Economics Initiative

Economics has historically been a male-dominated field. Even now, only around 1/3 of economics Ph.D. students are women . While progress is being made, many young women are left to parse the heavily-patriarchal system on their own (interviews for faculty jobs in hotel rooms , anyone?).   

Tirza Angerhofer , Ph.D., ‘28, is trying to change that. Through the Women in Economics group, s he reached out to female faculty and female Ph.D. students in economics-related disciplines such as economics, public policy and business.   

Her goal? To provide support for female Ph.D. students conducting economics research , encourage intergenerational knowledge transfer between faculty and students and provide information and support when there are instances of harassment.   

“The group has facilitated conversations between female Ph.D. students across cohorts and also across programs, such as Economics , Fuqua School of Business and Sanford School of Public Policy ,” says Angerhofer.      

She remembers how difficult the first year in doctoral programs can be, and knows many female students suffer from self-doubt. She wants students who are in upper years of their Ph.D.s to share their own experiences of fatigue and imposter syndrome, and also tell students that it gets better with time.   

While the Women in Economics group has been around since 2020, Angerhofer revitalized it in Spring 2023, after a long hiatus.  

“I hope that by re-starting this initiative, we can reduce social isolation and mental stress among the female Ph.D. students,” said Angerhofer.     

The group plans two events every semester. First is a faculty-student lunch where faculty answer questions and give advice to female Ph.D. students. There’s also an end-of-semester social event just for Ph.D. students, to promote community across cohorts. This Fall, students bonded through a terrarium-building workshop.   

In addition to those events, the group also fosters opportunities for connection with female faculty in Economics outside of Duke. By organizing breakfast events with visiting female faculty speakers, they allow group members to hear speakers share their experiences in academia, as well as everything from imposter syndrome, to conference and seminar behavior, to marriage and having children as an academic — a topic unfortunately still far more discussed among women than men.       

“The main goal of the group is to promote community and encouragement among female Ph.D. students,” says Angerhofer.   “We are very thankful for the generous support of the department of Economics that has provided funding for the group, and m y hope is that these events make students more willing to share tough experiences and get the support they need from others. ”

U-ECON-BS - Economics (BS)

Degree designation.

Economics courses develop the critical and analytical skills essential for understanding economics and institutions, in both their contemporary and historical settings. Although no particular vocational or professional goal is emphasized, these courses provide the academic background necessary for positions in industry or the non-profit sector, for work in many branches of government service, for law school, and for graduate study in business administration, economics, and the social sciences.

 Students who contemplate graduate study in economics are urged to develop skills in intermediate calculus (Mathematics 212), linear algebra (Mathematics 221), differential equations (Mathematics 356), and advanced calculus (Mathematics 431).

The undergraduate degree in economics signifies achievement of proficiency in quantitative skills and experience in applying these to economics.

The Department of Economics maintains online resources to guide economics majors and minors at econ.duke.edu/undergraduate .

Departmental Graduation with Distinction

Awarding of Distinction. A student will be awarded distinction upon graduation if they have satisfied all of the following requirements:

A minimum grade point average of 3.3 in the major and 3.3 overall;

Completion of five electives commensurate with an undergraduate AB or BS degree; and

The honors committee determines if the honors thesis qualifies for Graduation with Distinction.

Awarding of High Distinction. A student will be awarded High Distinction upon graduation if they have satisfied all of the requirements for Distinction and their honors thesis is selected by our honors committee from among nominated theses.

Awarding of Research Distinction. In recognition of the strong independent research dimension required of a successful honors thesis, a student will be awarded Research Distinction upon graduation if the honors committee determines their thesis qualifies for Graduation with Distinction regardless of whether or not the student meets the university and departmental GPA standards for Graduation with Distinction. These students will be recognized in the departmental graduation program.

Paths to the Honors Thesis. An honors thesis is a research paper completed during the senior year of the economics major. It represents a degree of research and critical thinking sufficiently complex and sophisticated as to require two to three semesters’ worth of work. The thesis is planned, researched, drafted, and revised over the course of two to three semesters, using research tools and techniques commensurate with an undergraduate BS degree.

To be considered for Graduation with Distinction in economics, students must pursue one of two paths outlined below.

Path 1: Honors Workshop Courses: The best setting in which to foster the research process is a two-semester workshop, resembling graduate workshops. In a workshop setting, students meet with their professor(s) and each other to observe advanced research (professors from outside the university, Duke economics graduate students, and Duke economics professors present their own research to the students), and then, in turn, develop and later present their own research on a regular biweekly basis, continually receiving feedback from their peers and from professors and graduate students.

The department offers a two-semester research workshop sequences for students interested in writing an honors thesis: Economics 495S (Honors Seminar I) and Economics 496S (Honors Seminar II). Students do not necessarily have to qualify for Graduation with Distinction in order to enroll in these research workshop sequences, nor will completion of either sequence guarantee Graduation with Distinction. The honors committee will determine if the honors thesis qualifies for Graduation with Distinction. Note: Should a problem arise that prevents a student from completing this sequence, they can switch to Path 2 described below.

Students who follow Path 1 may begin as early as the spring semester of their junior year. Davies Fellowships are available to sponsor some of these juniors (and their mentors) to enable them to do research full-time under the supervision of their advisor during the summer between their junior and senior years.

Path 2: Independent Study Courses: Students choosing this path enroll in Economics 394 (Research Independent Study) in either the spring of their junior year or the fall of their senior year, under the instruction of the mentoring faculty member. In the following semester (or in a subsequent semester), the student enrolls in an Economics 493 (Honors Research Independent Study) and completes the thesis. For the independent study courses (Economics 394 and Economics 493), students must enlist the approval of a specific faculty member (through submission of an approval form to the director of undergraduate studies) indicating that the faculty member is willing to work with the student for an entire academic year in an independent study format to produce an honors thesis. The honors committee will determine if the honors thesis qualifies for Graduation with Distinction. Students who start on Path 2 may switch to Path 1 by enrolling in Economics 496S (Honors Seminar II) with the signature of their faculty mentor and the approval of the 496S instructor (which is gained by submission of a satisfactory thesis proposal).

Sustainable & Impact Finance

New PhD course focuses on intersection of climate economics, sustainability

By Nathan Allen, February 20th, 2024

Rising to a critical need for more research and leadership in climate finance, Berkeley Haas has joined a group of top universities worldwide in offering an innovative online PhD course focused on the intersection of climate economics and sustainability.

Professors  Adair Morse  and  Panos Patatoukas , co-faculty directors of the  Sustainable & Impact Finance Initiative (SAIF) at Haas , began  co-teaching the online class  called “Financial Economics of Climate and Sustainability” this semester.

They join faculty members from more than 10 schools including Stanford, Harvard, Yale, Columbia, and Oxford, who are teaching this course to a global cohort of nearly 1,000 students from 127 schools across 30 different countries.

The goal is to inspire a new generation of climate leaders to embark on new research that leads to innovative ways of thinking about climate finance, Patatoukas said. “Our job as instructors will be to give them the tools and the frameworks and provide ways for them to start asking interesting questions,” he said.

“Overall, it’s a really good time to more formally train our students in this space. It’s rapidly evolving, it’s messy, it’s not perfect, but that makes it interesting and exciting and an area of growth that is full of opportunities.” —Panos Patatoukas

The course will help create change in two areas. First, it encourages students to work outside of their academic silos and come together to share ideas. “Sometimes, in a business school, we’re thinking about these problems in isolation, but this is definitely a field where everybody has to work with each other to come up with better solutions,” Patatoukas said. Second, the course will encourage students to publish cutting-edge research. “We feel like our students will have an easier time getting published in an area that is so impactful and new where basic questions remain open,” he said.

Each week, professors from different institutions will teach topics including climate, sustainability, and economic theory; corporate carbon disclosure; introduction to climate science; climate and asset pricing; and climate and investment management. All students enrolled in the course for credit will be required to submit an idea for a research project or a plan to review a set of sustainability papers from outside of the course by the last class.

“The timing is perfect for this course,” Patatoukas said. “As consensus has grown worldwide over the climate crisis, a transition to net zero isn’t happening fast enough.”

“The time is perfect for this course. As consensus has grown worldwide over the climate crisis, a transition to net zero isn’t happening fast enough.” —Panos Patatoukas

That’s where mobilizing massive amounts of capital to fight climate change comes into play. An estimated $4 trillion to $5 trillion a year in resources will need to be financed and distributed to address climate global needs, said  Terhilda Garrido , interim executive director of SAIF. “Only a fraction will be provided by governments,” she said. “This course addresses our need to mobilize innovative climate finance quickly, train leaders in finance, and learn from each other, globally. Climate is a global issue requiring global collaboration.”
