TEST 31-7-25 T2 TESTPROP This specialization, Global Challenges, studies economic aspects of
pressing global issues. Course work straddles areas of environmental
policy, global warming and climate change, but also the division between
Northern countries and the developing world, affecting life and
decisions of billions (poverty, access to health and education,
migration). All courses feature the application of relevant theoretical
and empirical insights to practical issues. You will learn to use modern
tools of analysis to investigate potential solutions and formulate
policy recommendations. Global challenges are much wider, and thesis
work can further delve into issues of, for instance, global diffusion of
technical change and innovation, international tax and welfare
competition, or international political economy.

The specialization is jointly supported by teaching staff from the
Department of Economics and of Spatial Economics. Both host
internationally renowned staff, all actively participating in national
and international economic policy debates. After completing course work
and thesis you are well equipped for a career as a policy economist in
international or national government agencies such as the European
Commission or ministries, policy analysis institutions, internationally
operating consultancy firms, or NGOs.

The programme contains core courses, specialization courses and
electives. test
