The four-year PhD in Economics, Statistics and Data Science (ECOSTAT) provides the most effective response to the important challenges which nowadays doctoral programmes in the areas of economics, statistics and data analytics, both in Italy and Europe, have to cope with: i) high qualification of the faculty, in terms of teaching abilities and publication records; ii) capability of attracting high quality students; iii) interdisciplinarity; iv) internationalization; v) relations with the non-academic job market; vi) placement of students who have successfully discussed their dissertations.

ECOSTAT builds upon the fruitful collaboration among economists, statisticians and data scientists from the Department of Economics, Management and Statistics (DEMS) and the Department of Statistics and Quantitative Methods of the University of Milano-Bicocca (UniMiB), which has started twenty years ago within the BSc in Statistics and Economics, as well as the MSc in Statistics and Economics and is going on with the more recent MSc in Data Science.

Detailed information about ECOSTAT (e.g. novelties, governance, teaching and research activities, placement, call for interest, call for applications, program committee, news, events) can be found at the PhD program website (see below).
