The UC San Diego Graduate Program in Economics has set historical precedence for the strong preparation its students receive in econometrics and microeconomic theory. During the last few years, our Department has expanded dramatically, with rapidly growing strengths in macroeconomics and applied microeconomics. Among the fields we now cover are behavioral economics, development, environmental economics, finance, labor economics, international trade, industrial and organizational economics, macroeconomics, political economy, and public finance, in addition to econometrics and microeconomic theory.
