The DASEE (Data Analyst for Spatial and Environmental Economics) master’s program is a high-quality two-year program that offers an integrated view of urban/regional and environmental issues from an economic perspective, with a particular focus on georeferenced data management and analysis. It is designed for students with an interest in spatial economics, environmental economics and quantitative analysis. 

The program addresses highly relevant economic issues in today’s modern economies such as the environmental impacts of cities, the determinants of location choice of economic activities in urban, periurban and rural areas, the advantages and disadvantages of spatial agglomeration in terms of economic efficiency, equity and environment, the design of local economic development policies and place-based transportation and environmental policies.

Students will learn to tackle all these problems with a level of theoretical abstraction and will be able to design and implement relevant empirical studies with specialized techniques relevant for georeferenced data: spatial statistics and spatial econometrics.

The DASEE program will offer possibility for graduates to undertake PhD research in spatial economics, environmental economics or spatial data analysis as it provides expert skills in theoretical and empirical economics. This will lead to recruitments in academia or in the public/private sectors, environmental consultancies, government, non-governmental organizations and multinational companies.
