M.A. Program in Economic Theory and Policy Now Accepting International Students
grad2017
We are pleased to announce that both our M.A. and M.S. programs are now accepting international students for fall 2020.

Designed as preparation for a professional career in economic research and policy formulation, the Levy Economics Institute Graduate Programs in Economic Theory and Policy offer an alternative to mainstream programs in economics and finance.

Our diverse student body comes from Afghanistan, Australia, Austria, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Ethiopia, Gambia, Germany, India, Kyrgyzstan, Lebanon, Nepal, Peru, the United Kingdom, and the United States, with research interests focusing on banking regulations, monetary policy in Europe, trade, financial regulations, economic forecasting, poverty, unemployment and exclusion, modern monetary theory, and stock-flow-consistent modeling. To find out more about our innovative programs that combine a rigorous course of study with exceptional opportunity to participate in advanced economics research alongside the Institute's global network of researchers, visit bard.edu/levygrad or follow the program's Facebook page.

Applications for fall 2020 are now open. Interested students should contact the program recruiter, Martha Tepepa ([email protected]), to discuss their options. Scholarships are available.
Media and Web Coverage

Because "a viral epidemic, unfortunately, does not just sicken families; it also sickens the economy, and ours is quite vulnerable already," an interest rate cut may not be enough to spur investment and growth as the US formulates its coronavirus response. In her first of two recent op-eds for MarketWatch, Research Scholar Pavlina R. Tcherneva calls instead for an "aggressive public-health-services mobilization and an economic stabilization package. And that's the job of Congress, not the Fed."
