Economics

The economics discipline has a lively research and teaching environment. The department's research is mainly empirical, with applications to international economics and trade, environmental economics and sustainability, development and globalization, industrial organization and competition, finance and growth. Teaching ranges from introductory to advanced-level economics. Graduate courses in economics are given within the Swedish Graduate Program in Economics (SWEGPEC) in cooperation within six other Swedish universities. Economics

For the positions as a Ph.D. student in economics planned research must be relevant for the Baltic Sea region or Eastern Europe since the position is connected to the Baltic and Eastern European Graduate School, BEEGS

The PhD programme in economics at Södertörn University is organized jointly with SWEGPEC consisting of seven Swedish universities (Örebro University, Linköping University, Linnaeus University, Karlstad University, Södertörn University, Jönköping University, Dalarna University).
