Why study Public Policy and Development?
The demand for quantitative evaluation of public policies is steadily increasing. At all levels of society, whether in government, business or civil society, in both developed and emerging economies, the need for more accurate evaluations is evident.
This program aims to develop professionals capable of designing, analyzing, and evaluating public policy at the national and international levels to meet this growing need.
It is also a springboard to many private, public and academic career opportunities.
I chose the PPD program because I was looking for a program with a strong focus on applied methods and research, development, and an international student body. I am currently working as a Research Analyst at the International Monetary Fund. […] I work with country team economists to conduct macroeconomic analysis and various annual exercises such as Article IV, WEO, and program reviews for program countries. I am also part of the Fund’s Fragility Research Group, which conducts research on the macroeconomic impact of conflict in African countries.
