Our Approach
-
The course of study encourages students to specialize in one of the research areas of the Levy Institute:- Macroeconomic Theory, Policy, and Modeling;
- Employment and Labor Markets;
- Monetary Policy and Financial Structure;
- Distribution of Income, Wealth, and Well-Being;
- Gender Equality and the Economy
-
Small-group interaction in lectures and seminars encourages students to expand their understanding of economic theory and their influence in the global community. Students participate in every discussion and develop close working relationships with faculty in an environment of active learning. Resident scholars teaching in the graduate programs are extremely accessible, and consider themselves mentors as well as teachers. -
Real-World EconomicsThe world economy has not yet emerged from the impacts of the 2008 financial and 2020 Covid Crises. Below-target growth and tax revenue threaten critical public expenditure on healthcare, education, social protection, and climate change adaptation… yet mainstream economics programs continue to use the same approach. The Levy Graduate Programs in Economic Theory and Policy offer real answers to real-world problems.
