Overview

At the heart of the Political Economy program from Georgetown University is the methodological and substantive overlap between economics and political science. Methodologically, political economy emphasizes rigorous and frequently quantitative methods, including formal modeling, econometrics and comparative case study methods.

Features

Substantively, political economy analyzes how international and domestic political factors interact with macro and micro economic factors to determine outcomes in a wide variety of areas including globalization, international trade and finance, regulation, development, taxes, institutional design, the environment, and income distribution.

The scope of inquiry ranges from developed countries, to developing economies, to nations making transitions to market oriented systems.
