*Economics, Management and Data Science (EMDS) curriculum *

*within the 2016/17 PhD program at the IMT School for Advanced Studies
Lucca*


Perspective students should preferably have a master-level background in
economics, management science, physics, mathematics, statistics, computer
science, engineering or in a related field.


Under the Direction of Prof. Massimo Riccaboni, this curriculum provides
participants with a solid knowledge base in analytical methods in economics
and management science. With its multidisciplinary approach, the curriculum
is unique in its deployment of a strong integration of concepts, analytical
foundations, and practical expertise, to educate a new professional élite
with distinctive capabilities in analyzing, visualizing, interpreting, and
managing complex problems in economics and management. Graduates are
trained as future leaders in policy and industry.
Students are involved in the analysis of real world big/high dimensional
data, in collaboration with companies and institutions. The curriculum
relies on distinctive competences at IMT in economics, political economy,
management science and analytics, computer science, applied mathematics,
statistics, network theory, and system engineering/operation research.
Specific fields of study are economic networks and network industries;
healthcare and pharmaceuticals; systemic risk analysis; economics and
finance; political economy; organization, entrepreneurship, and technology;
strategy; marketing science; critical infrastructures; systems modeling and
optimization; stochastic systems; production and operations. Close
associations with a selected set of companies and institutions provide the
opportunity to analyze relevant problems, motivating new analytical
techniques from practical problem solving.


Courses are led by world-renowned researchers and provide students with all
the theoretical skills and advanced  tools required for rigorously tackling
a multitude of analysis, design and management problems within the broad
framework of systems analysis in economic, social, scientific,
technological and cultural domains. Specialized faculty and staff create a
network that provides key guidance and support throughout the PhD Program.
Working closely with faculty, both in the classroom and in the development
of research, students reach the highest levels of scholarly achievement.
IMT School PhD graduates will be able to use the skills they acquired
during their studies to recognize and resolve complex problems, to choose
the most appropriate method or instrument to utilize when approaching these
problems, even in disciplines outside of their primary field of research.


All students are based in the recently restored San Francesco complex, a
fully integrated Campus in the historical center of the beautiful Tuscan
city of Lucca. The Campus includes renewed residential facilities, an
on-site canteen, study and living rooms, a state-of-the-art library and
outdoor recreational spaces, which foster a unique cultural, professional
and social environment for our doctoral program. Admitted students, in
addition to free room and board, will also receive a research scholarship
which amounts to approximately €13,600/year. Additional funding for
research stages also will be provided.


The PhD program at the IMT School attracts students from around the world,
providing a truly international environment. English is the official
language of the School. Moreover, all students will have the opportunity to
spend periods abroad at research institutes, laboratories or universities,
both within the Erasmus+ framework and through ad hoc mobility agreements.


Most IMT School PhD Graduates have reached prominent roles in academics,
governmental institutions, public and private companies or professions
across the globe.
