Economics
¡¡
The Department of Economics was among the four earliest faculties in the School of Economics since its establishment in 1985. In 1999, the department was designated by the Ministry of Education (I thought it should be Ministry of Education, but we need to check to confirm.) as one of the key sites for economics education in China.

Currently the department consists of five teaching and research groups, including that for macroeconomics, microeconomics, political economy, quantitative economics, and history of economy and economic thoughts. The department¡¯s graduate program offers master and doctoral degrees in the fields of political economy, western economics, history of economic theories and history of Chinese economic thoughts. Among them the political economy field was designated by the Ministry of Education (again, we need to check if it is indeed Ministry of Education) as one of the key academic units at the state level while the western economics field was honored at the provincial level.

Presently the department has eight professors, seven associate professors and six assistant professors. They offer advanced courses to the students of the department as well as introductory courses to the entire school. In recent years, the faculty conducted of a series of research projects sponsored by the state and ministries, among which many had received awards from the government. The department plays an important role in both the academia and in the government¡¯s policy making.

The department aims at training students with solid knowledge of economics theories and strong ability in practice. The graduates may expect to work in the government for policy making as well as for teaching and research positions in higher education institutions. The graduate may also pursue opportunities in the private sector or continue their education in graduate schools. The students are offered four types of courses: economic theories, history of economy and economic thoughts, applied economics, and economic analytical tools. In those courses, the students are exposed to cutting-edge ideas and methods. To encourage independent research by the students and enhance their writing skills, in 1999 the department introduced the student summer research program, in which the faculty members work closely with the students to provide guidance.
