Econometrics Ph.D

A PC-1 for strengthening faculty has been submitted, requesting 99 million from HEC to allow us to make new hires to strengthen econometrics and other programs.

I launched a successful Ph.D. program in Econometrics at IIIE. Graduates have received recognition

internationally and have found good jobs. We are much better placed at PIDE to launch a similar

program. Furthermore, presence of such a program provides substantially improved quantitative

and statistical skills to the regular economics program. Accordingly, I have asked Dr Hasan Mohsin to

design and launch a Ph.D. program, and to prepare a budget for submission to HEC.
