Starting frm academic year 2017-18, the PhD prgramme in Ecnmics at Ca Fscari University f Venice has been extended t a fur-year dctral prgramme, representing a very imprtant investment by the Department f Ecnmics. The PhD prgramme prvides students with tls and instruments t cnduct riginal research twards a dctral dissertatin in varius fields f specialisatin in ecnmics and finance. These include micr - and macr-ecnmic thery, ecnmetric thery, micrecnmetrics, applied ecnmics, public ecnmics, plitical ecnmy, quantitative finance, mathematical finance, peratins research, mathematical ecnmics, behaviural and experimental ecnmics. The PhD prgramme is fficially recgnized by the Italian Ministry f Educatin and Research (MIUR) and has been awarded the certificate f accreditament. At the end f the prgramme students shuld have achieved any necessary skills t perfrm highly qualified prfessins in ecnmics r finance in universities and/r public r private rganizatins. The plicy and the activities f the PhD prgramme are planned and rganized by the PhD Faculty Bard which is made up by the Crdinatr f the prgramme and by ther members nminated by the Department f Ecnmics. This dcument prvides a guide t the rganizatin and the activities f the PhD prgramme, and t its plicies and prcedures. Useful infrmatin n the Department f Ecnmics and Ca Fscari University are prvided n varius websites which are indicated at the end f this guide. Yu are kindly invited t visit the websites and get familiar with the infrmatin useful fr yur attendance t Ca Fscari University as a graduate student. Yu as a PhD student are part f a very selected wrld wide spread cmmunity f talented students. This gives yu the pprtunity t spend a few years studying in rder t reach the frntier f the current knwledge in ecnmics, aiming t g beynd that limit. It is ging t be an intense, stressful but at the same time gratifying experience. On the behalf f the Faculty Bard, welcme abard.

PhD in Ecnmics General rganisatin Starting frm academic year 2017-18, the PhD in Ecnmics is a 4-year prgramme, entirely taught in English, ffering advanced training in ecnmics, ecnmetrics and finance and prviding highly selected students with instruments t cnduct riginal research enabling them t pursue a career in academia r in ecnmic and financial internatinal rganizatins. During the first year, students attend an intensive prgramme subdivided int three terms f advanced lectures in ecnmics and finance with exams and assignments. The prgramme starts early in September with curses in mathematics and statistics and ends in July at the final mnitring sessin. During the first year, students are als required t attend Department seminars and t perfrm ther research activities indicated by the Dctral Faculty bard. Upn the cmpletin f the curses prgramme, students start t think abut the tpic fr the dissertatin. The wrk n the dctral thesis is supervised by tw supervisrs. The first supervisr is chsen by the end f the first year. At least ne f the tw supervisrs must be a member f the Department f Ecnmics f Ca Fscari University. At the end f the first year, the Dctral Bard decides accrding t the results and verall behaviur, whether t admit students t the secnd year f the prgramme. During the secnd, third and furth year, students are devted n writing their dissertatin. After having defined their thesis and chsen the main supervisr, secndyear dctral students start t wrk n their research prject. They are expected t participate actively in Department seminars and ther research activities rganised by the Dctral Faculty Bard, including specific research riented shrt curses r seminars. They will als carry ut teaching activities fr undergraduate curses, rganised by the Department f Ecnmics. They are encuraged and financially supprted t participate in internatinal cnferences and wrkshps. Frm the secnd year and beynd, students can rganise a perid f internatinal mbility t cnduct part f their research at an internatinal institutin. The perid f internatinal mbility is agreed by the student with the supervisr and must be apprved by the Dctral Faculty Bard. The prgramme ends with a final exam cnsisting in the thesis defence ( viva ) in frnt f a Cmmittee f at least three prfessrs experts in the field f the dissertatin. The Cmmittee decides whether the student deserves the title f Dttre di ricerca in Ecnmia (PhD in Ecnmics). The PhD Prgramme must be cmpleted at the end f the furth year.
