What is a Master in Business Economics?  This field of study is a branch of business that focuses specifically on the application of economics as it relates to the operation of a company. Business economics students often take a combination of courses from both economics and business programs. Additionally, there are many required socio-political studies, including anthropology, psychology, and public economics.

Business is one of the most rewarding fields to build a career in, but it can be an industry that’s difficult to break into. Studying business economics benefits students by providing a unique angle of focus that often makes them appealing to companies. Master’s degree holders usually earn much higher salaries and are often more sought after.

The cost of earning a master’s degree can vary quite a bit. The school and program you choose will influence tuition and other costs. Your country of study also changes the cost. Before you enroll in a business economics program, it is quite wise to research the required expense.

Most of the careers available to graduates of the business economics field are in analytics. Economic experts help gauge the market, make recommendations, and influence decision-making. It is possible to work as an investment advisor, market research specialist, business analyst, or bank manager. If you are interested in management, it is also possible to become a director of finance. Master’s degrees are usually required to begin high-level business economics jobs.

Masters in Business Economics. A country’s prosperity depends on its competitiveness which is based on its productivity in producing goods and services. Agents such as consumers, firms, counties and public sector agencies play an important part in creating value and supporting their economic development as well as that of their country, region or county. To achieve competitiveness public officers must learn how to allocate scarce resources among the various options. The allocation of resources is determined by interactions in markets. While good macroeconomic policies, stable legal and political institutions, and improving social conditions create the potential for competitiveness, wealth is actually created at the microeconomic level. This course explores the determinants of competitiveness and successful economic development viewed from a bottom-up, micro-level perspective. It is designed to enable public managers both in central government and county government to hone a unique set of skills that will help them play a catalytic role in enhancing county and public sector competitiveness towards sustained economic growth.

This will enable counties to take the lead in economic development and to fully utilize areas of competitive advantage compared to other counties. Program Delivery This course provides an intensive, five-day introduction to microeconomics of competitiveness analysis theory and practice. The program heavily employs the case methodology... [-]
