The Economics, Behaviour and Policy programme addresses several main questions such as: How do people and policy makers make decisions that affect economic, societal, and personal welfare? How do we measure and define this welfare? Which lessons follow from this for policy design? These and other issues are treated by drawing on state-of-the-art developments within the discipline of economics.

This Master's specialisation offers courses that consider cases from a European and international context to shape students' understanding of how policy affects economic behaviour and economic performance. Students are equipped with both mainstream economic methods as well as endowed with a critical attitude in line with the 'Economics Plus' perspective. They are expected to find positions in national policy making organisations, international policy bodies, and policy advisory and consulting companies.

The Master's in Economics, Behaviour and Policy is a specialisation of the Master's programme in Economics.

afgestudeerd in 2014 werkzaam als Junior Lecturer bij Radboud University
'It took only a few months of taking this programme to change my perspective on economics as a science. Mastering the different orthodoxies as well as adapting to
heterodox views has enabled me to approach both abstract theories as well as contemporary economic issues in a pluralistic sense.'

Na de studie

Unsplashed background img 2
In this programme you will learn to make smarter, more effective policy, based on behavioural economics and psychology.
This programme will provide you with a toolbox filled with the skills and knowledge needed to tackle a whole array of economic problems. Besides issues at the micro and macroeconomic level, graduates learn to deal with issues at the meso level, for example, how to stimulate innovation.

Beroepsperspectief / arbeidsmarkt

Our graduates devise policies and learn to analyse critically which solutions are most likely to work in a specific economic and social context. They regularly find employment as policy makers for government and semi-government organisations, in ministries, national banks, NGOs, think tanks, the UN and the EU, as well as national and international labour organisations. But your career prospects are much broader than that. You could for example, work as a consultant in industry or as a lobbyist.
