While created in 2015 with an unprecedented approach in Brazil, our Stricto Sensu PhD graduate program in Business Economics uses the multidisciplinary approach and integrated view ingrained in all our programs to delve into the interconnection between Economics and Business Administration with all the complementary aspects encompassed by those two areas.
The outcome is to make professionals ready with solid quantitative education, strategic vision and strong ability to formulate and test hypotheses based on scientific methods to apply that knowledge effectively in the analysis of major problems faced by organizations in their several strategic decisions, and by governments in the execution of public policies and regulations.
With that in mind, three lines of research are followed: Strategy, Marketing and Industrial Organization; Applied Microeconomics and Finance. Those lines comprehend 26 courses that cover everything from the fundamentals and application of those concepts in our research centers to the appropriate organization of articles for students to put together the final defense of their doctoral thesis.
Even though there are no similar stricto sensu programs in Brazil, this mode is by now a reality in business schools abroad, where it is commonplace to have Economics departments dealing straight with other segments, such as Industrial Organization, International Trade, Theory of the Firm and Contracts, in addition to business areas that are already based on economic fundamentals, such as Finance.
Similarly, there are international management courses that have increasingly incorporated economic concepts and methods. There is, for example, a rapidly expanding movement of economics literature that seeks to measure and evaluate the management practices of firms and their impact on productivity.
In addition to the innovative format, this multi and interdisciplinary proposal favors the internationalization of our doctoral program. Therefore, all classes are given in English and the faculty itself is made up of professors with experience abroad, which facilitates the admission of foreign students, while also enabling our students to access renowned schools on five continents.
The idea is that this internationalization and diversity contribute to the development of other research systems and bring a new outlook to the solution of local problems, whether under a macroeconomic perspective, or for the analysis of consequences of competition or, even, of public policy evaluation, among other possibilities.
Our Doctoral Program in Business Economics has a workload of 1,512 hours and a duration of 4 years. Check the date and times of the next class, get to know the selection process and learn more about the program by participating in the Meeting with the Coordination.
The courses in the Doctoral Program in Business Economics are entirely in English and allocated over three quarters throughout the year. In the first year, the student takes elementary courses of methodological content. Most of those courses are mandatory and common to the three lines of research, but as we will explain below, there are some courses specific to each line of research. Starting on the second year, students build on their area of concentration, with a wide range of elective courses. The curriculum for the first two years and the specific requirements of each line of research as to mandatory and elective courses are described below.
Check the details:
Line of Strategy, Marketing and Industrial Organization:
Line of Macroeconomics and Finance:
Line of Applied Microeconomics:
Strategy, Marketing and Industrial Organization
Macroeconomics and Finance
Applied Microeconomics
By the second quarter of the third year, students will typically have completed the requirements of their line of research and will be fully dedicated to the writing of academic articles in the remainder of the third year and throughout the fourth year. Students are encouraged to spend some time abroad on a “sandwich internship” to expand their research culture and gain international exposure, in addition to submitting their research proposals to funding agencies such as FAPESP, CAPES, CNPq and others.
The structure of the 3rd and 4th years is shared among the three lines of research:
Year 3 – 1st quarter:
Elective, Elective and Article Project I
Year 3 – 2nd quarter:
Article Project II
Year 3 – 3rd quarter:
Article Project III
Note: The courses on Article Project I, II and III are seminars where students present their research projects (which will give rise to chapters of their dissertations).
In the 1st quarter of the 4th year, students will typically take the Qualifying Exam, an oral presentation to their advisors and attendees. After passing the qualifying exam, they proceed with the remainder of the 4th year devoted to the completion of the dissertation. It is expected that the thesis will be defended by the end of the 4th year. The thesis has the format of “three articles” that are usually connected to a central theme.

The Doctoral Program in Business Economics will be offered in English to appeal to students from Brazil as well as other countries.
The program will have two visiting professors who will teach elective courses annually: Heitor Almeida (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign) and Igor Cunha (University of Kentucky) in the line of Finance. Additionally, students will be encouraged to take elective courses abroad on a “sandwich” basis and are also in contact with a leading international researcher (in addition to their Insper advisor) to carry out their research.
*To enroll, it is necessary to go through all the stages of the selection process. Limited vacancies.
