International Ph.D. in Economics. Université Côte d'Azur (UniCA) international Ph.D. in economics offers training in traditional economic disciplines - like microeconomics, macroeconomics, econometrics, financial market analysis, industrial organization - and training in disciplines embedding a complexity-based perspective such as computational economics, experimental economics, the analysis of financial and economic networks.

This program is adapted to a specialized and competitive postgraduate offer with respect to the university, national and international environment, increasing the social prestige of postgraduate studies. With this proposal it is intended to reinforce the prestige of the research trajectory of the USC.

This doctoral program provides a double continuity: firstly, to the previously existing doctoral program, and secondly to the Official Master's Degree in Regional Development and Economic Integration, which is provided by the teaching period. It deals with a rigorous, transversal program and with the participation of multiple areas of knowledge seeking interdisciplinarity in analysis rather than the excessive specialization that occurred in some of the doctoral courses of a more formal nature, scarcely intensive and with hardly any orientation to the research training.

The Doctoral Program in Economic Analysis and Business Strategy arises from the commitment of a group of professors from the Faculties of Economic and Business Sciences of the three Universities of the Galician University System (SUG) who intend to join forces to train researchers capable of publicizing their work in internationally disseminated journals specialized in economics and academic journals present in the Journal of Citation Report (JCR).

Statistics and operations research are today of great importance as part of mathematics and as necessary disciplines for the understanding and advancement of other branches such as Economics, Engineering or Medicine, among others.
