Track in Economics, Networks and Business Analytics (ENBA) | Doctorate / PhD | Humanities & Culture | On Campus | 4 years | IMT School for Advanced Studies Lucca | Italy

This is one of the four field-specific tracks offered and is under the “Systems Science” PhD Program. This Track provides participants with a solid knowledge on modern analytical methods in economics and management. With its multidisciplinary approach, the track is unique in its deployment of a strong integration of concepts, analytical foundations, and practical expertise, to educate the new generation of economists, scientists and practitioners with distinctive capabilities in analyzing, interpreting, and managing complex socio-economic systems. Graduates will be trained to become researchers and decision makers in academia, policy and industry by integrating knowledge at the boundary of Economics, Statistical Physics, Computer and Social Sciences with the unifying language of Mathematics and Statistics. Close associations with a selected set of companies and institutions provide the opportunity to analyze relevant problems, motivating new analytical techniques from practical problem solving. Students are involved in the analysis of real world high dimensional data, in collaboration with companies and institutions. During their doctoral studies, students are encouraged to carry out their research with the School’s Research Units. ENBA students also have the possibility of completing their theses under the joint supervision (Double-degree) with KU Leuven or the University of Alicante.
