I was motivated to start the PhD program at NHH by the opportunity to gain a deep understanding of economic relationships and the methods to investigate them.
As a PhD student at the department of Economics at NHH, I had the opportunity to meet and discuss interesting research questions with both fellow students and senior faculty members. Both groups consisted of highly competent, encouraging and generous individuals.
Working with economic analyses as a consultant, a lot of the skills acquired through PhD courses and research experience are really valuable. A structured way of approaching complex relationships and familiarity with empirical methods and statistics is useful in almost any setting.
Thus, the research background is valuable for my employer and our clients.
