Research Master/M2 GAEXA “Game Theory, Experiments and Applied Econometrics’’
A master in Applied Public Economics
| OBJECTIVES The Research Master/M2R GAEXA “Game Theory, Experimental Economics, Applied Econometrics” is a program for and by research in applied microeconomics as practiced in academia, large firms or civil service. It is a one-year program, at level M2. [1] The Fall term consists in Courses to acquire tools in three complementary domains of contemporary quantitative microeconomics :  Game Theory and Applications incl. Cooperative Games and Networks ;
Experimental Economics and Applications incl. Behavioral economics, Markets, Incentives, Social preferences, Protocols Programming ;
Applied Econometrics incl. Labor & Spatial Economics ;
Optional module available for personalized projects.All courses are in English. In the Spring term, the students apply these tools in a professionalizing research experience during a Research Internship with our research partners. They write a research report, that is evaluated in a public defense early July. |
Application & Fee |
| GAEXA is the final year of the masters : Quantitative Economics  Economic Engineering  | |
| PROSPECTS GAEXA is designed to train students to become autonomous researchers. The career prospects are in research, following three broad ways : Academic PhD, professional PhD or, directly, analyst in the domain of research of their Internship. The Internship allows the students to acquire a professional experience in research and to develop a network in their elected field of application. Such an involvement creates employment opportunities, but also favors CIFRE PhD. [2] VENUE GAEXA is hosted at, and supported by, the GATE CNRS research center, top-level French research center, ranked highest (A+) by AERES in 2010. Hosting at the GATE research center allows the students to be in close contact with applied research in economics : presence of the researchers and PhD students, local conferences, seminar series, laboratory experiments,... Courses take place at the two main sites of the research center, in Lyon or Saint Etienne. Students elect the location of their choice. All the courses are videoconferenced. |
GAEXA is endorsed by      |
